Well, I don't think you can use the vc commandline toolkit to build the .vcproj files since it's part of MS Visual Studio IDE feature. However, you can look into the .vcproj files with a text editor and write the makefiles yourself, it's not that hard to understand XML. By the way, you might search if someone already made a tool like 'vcproj2mak' or similiar.

Oh ok, found the solution.

Download files below:
1. http://www.arstdesign.com/articles/prjconverter_demo.zip

2. http://jrfonseca.dyndns.org/projects/gnu-win32/software/ported/unix/bootstrap/gawk-3.0.4-bootstrap.tar.bz2

This is a modified version of
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/mingw/utils/scripts/dsw2mak.in?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/plain
which doesn't translate cl options to gcc options, but you need to register
an account at there to download it

Step by step guide:
1. Use prjconverter to convert .vcproj/.sln files to .dsp/.dsw files

2. Use dsw2mak (you need gawk to run this script) to convert .dsp/.dsw files
to makefile

3. Use nmake on the generated makefiles, good luck on compiling!
