[Mono-devel-list] Sln to make conversion

[Francisco T. Martinez]

You can try to use prj2make or prj2make-sharp-gtk (they have very 
similar capabilities but one has a GUI front end).  Prj2make only work 
with C# projects and solution files for  C# projects.  It is also 
intended for Visual Studio .NET 2003.

There is also a Visual Studio add-in (vsprj2make).  This works nice 
within the Visual Studio IDE.

Prj2make is not perfect but it may prove useful and get you started.
