Is there any solution file for VC++ 2010 Express version? The examples fail to compile/run outside your IDE. The IDE is great but I'd like to be able to use VC++ 2010 Express IDE as well. I'd be thankful if you could tell me the compiler/linker settings or give me a link to a VC++ 2010 Express solution file.

koldo: he actually wants to compile upp project (which one? TheIDE?) inside MSVS10 (express).
Bond: no solution file, but I think MSVS can still use old makefiles? I'm just not sure for which version of make, or maybe you should specify one.
Try makefile export in TheIDE? Or maybe try dolik's universal one. But at first check what kind of make MSVS can support and how well.
Or maybe just put verbose mode on, and compile with MSC10 inside TheIDE to see what is called and how. And set up your own solution accordingly.
But overall it's not possible to mimic upp versatile modular build system with MSVS. It's feasible to set up a solution file for single particular project, but overall you will need TheIDE as a reference every time you will try something different.
(hint: most of us just gave up and learned to use TheIDE ... it's far from perfect, but it's possible to be quite productive with it, and in case you have some huge problem, it can be eventually improved, it already has been several times)

I have absolutely no knowledge about MSVC but I am 100% sure that the universal Makefile does not work on windows The easiest way would be probably some very simple makefile (if it is supported at all) using theide in the command line mode to export makefile for given package and then building it using targets from this generated makefile. This approach could give keep at least part of the U++ modularity...
