    <p>I'm facing <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2725815/link-error-xxx-is-already-defined-in-lib-what-exactly-is-wrong">this</a> problem. So, I need to build the support libraries (zlib, libtiff, libpng, libxml2, libiconv) with "Multithreaded DLL" (/MD) &amp; "Multithreaded DLL Debug" (/MDd) run-time options. But the problem is there is no direct way . I mean there is no *.sln / *.vcproj file which I can open in Visual C++ and build it.</p> <p>I'm aware with the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_build_system" rel="nofollow noreferrer">GNU build system</a>:</p> <pre><code>$./configure --with-all-sorts-of-required-switches $./make $./make install </code></pre> <p>During my search I've encountered with something called <a href="http://www.cmake.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">CMake</a> which generates *.vcproj &amp; *.sln file but for that CMakeLists.txt is required. Not all projects provide CMakeLists.txt.</p> <p>I've never compiled anything from Visual C++ Command Line. </p> <ul> <li><p>Generally most projects provide <code>makefile</code>. Now how do I generate *.vcproj / *.sln from this?</p></li> <li><p>Can I compile with <code>mingw-make</code> of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MinGW" rel="nofollow noreferrer">MinGW</a>? </p></li> <li><p>If I can, how do I set different options ("Multi-Threaded"(/MT), "Multi-Threaded Debug"(/MTd), "Multi-Threaded DLL"(/MD), "Multi-Threaded DLL Debug"(/MDd)) for run-time libraries? </p></li> <li><p>I don't know what other ways are available. Please throw some light on this.</p></li> </ul>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
