Using C++ code outside of Visual Studio

[tsume]

I've been looking at some open source code for a project I'm working on (based in Scala & Java). I found a project which does what I need, but it's based in C++. I have no problem in using the C++ code cause I could make some system calls from the JVM.

My real problem is that the code is created in Visual Studio. I have no idea on how to port this code. It may include files which I may overlook. Can anyone who has ported code from Visual Studio help?

Is this c# or full on c++ in VS?

How I port code:

Step 1) Copy/Paste/include files/dependencies required
Step 2) Compile
Step 3) Step 1 if Step 2 failed, till Step 2 is successful

Historically, you needed all the libraries and .h files used by the code you were using (and hope it was compatible with your compiler). Currently, who knows what MS have done to secure their 'intellectual property'.
