First, please do not post unrelated message as a followup; this message should be start of new thread, and have appropriate subject (like the one above).

Second, do not toppost.  Third, only quote what is necessary.

Git uses GNU make as a build tool, so I am not sure if you can develop Git with MS Visual Studio. You should have GNU make installed if you have chosen appropriate version of msysGit (the one with developer tools).
