This project shows one approach to building the same source files on both Windows and Linux.

The project file (Reverb.vpj) contains all the build configurations for both Windows and Linux. The Linux configurations are set up to use the gcc compiler. The Windows configurations use the environment variables defined in the Windows-specific workspace file (Reverb-win.vpw) in order to find and execute cl.exe with the proper environment set up. This way we can edit and build the executable on Windows without creating and using a Visual Studio workspace file.

If you have the gcc compiler installed on Windows, you can also build the gcc variants of the project.
