Thanks for the information..
However, I'm still unable to figure how to do a clean build of extensions on Windows using VS 2008.
To start with, the main contrib module doesn't seem to have a nmake-compatible Makefile, and
I don't seem to find any project under 'contrib' which has a Windows-compatible build..
From the earlier command line I had posted, it appears that there's a conflict between 'errcode'
defined in VS (crtdefs.h) and the one that PostgreSQL brings (utils/elog.h).
Specifically, here is the error:
\pgsql\include\server\utils/elog.h(118) : error C2365: 'errcode' : redefinition; previous definition was 'typedef'
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition
- ENU\VC\INCLUDE\crtdefs.h(548) : see declaration of 'errcode'

The easiest way to do it on Windows is to make a new `contrib' module
and compile as part of the main build. Just copy the structure of an
existing contrib module to get the idea.
I don't know if pgxs works on Windows, having never tried it. If it
does, that's another alternative.

You're missing critical macro definitions, among other things. Don't try
to just invoke the compiler directly, use the build system to do it.
