Generate Make Files (for GCC) from Visual Studio Solution

Question

I want to compile my Visual Studio Solution, with three projects, in Linux using GCC. The solution contains two DLL projects and one application(.EXE) project which uses these DLLs. The source code doesn't contain any Windows dependency.

How do I convert the solution (with 3 projects) to make files which can be compiled in Linux using GCC.

Is there is any tool for converting the Visual Studio Solution (Project) to make file/s.

The Visual Studio version is Visual Studio 2008

You can use i.e. vcproj2cmake or vcxproj2cmake. Further tools are already listed here: How to support both vcxproj to cmake on a project?
