Hi,
I've moved to a new project that's currently built w/ Visual Studio 2010's project-file based build system. I'm in hell, and trying to get the project building under Eclipse, where I'll be happy again.

I've created an Eclipse project that is set to use Visual Studio's toolchain, and it's kind-of working, but the compiler errors don't show up in the Console window. All it shows is:

**** Rebuild of configuration Release for project foo ****

**** Internal Builder is used for build ****
cl.exe /c /O2 /EHs /MD /nologo /Foo.obj ..\..\..\..\perforceWorkspaces\blah\main\Foo.cpp
Build error occurred, build is stopped
Time consumed: 58 ms.

It appears that stderr is not getting routed to the Console window. I can't fix the build errors unless I can see what they are!

Any hints?

(Also, if there's a better way to move a non-Makefile, Visual Studio project to Eclipse, please let me know).

Thank!
