Some files seem to have been developed for Visual Studio, but I also see other files which look like Eclipse project files.

Just a small README file could save the world...

I must admit that building both the real thing and the classic Windows emulator is quite a mess. You'll need some stuff before you can start, such as a working Perl installation.

The classic Windows emulator is build with Visual Studio 2010. The free Express edition is sufficient if you do not want to modify the core emulator DLL which uses MFC libraries and headers. Open the proper SLN file and all will be build automatically.

The Eclipse files simply define the project and delegate the build to the Makefile. This is for the real thing and has nothing to do with the emulator. When I'm performing builds, I use some cmd files in the project root. The IDEs are just for editing and debugging.

I remember to have written this down somwhere but I don't recall where exactly. Maybe in the Wiki.
