You didn't paste enough to show any actual errors ...

[ lots and lots of
error C2065: 'BLCKSZ' : undeclared identifier
error C2065: 'XLOG_SEG_SIZE' : undeclared identifier
etc etc ]

It looks like you're missing some of the macros that normally get set up
by the configure script on Unix builds.  I confess I'm not familiar with
how configuration goes on an MSVC build, but did you follow all the
steps in
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/static/install-windows.html
?

            regards, tom lane

I found out what was happening. When the path variables were manually set, something in build.pl was overwriting 64 bit
to32 bit (not sure why. The build was saying 64 was detected and will be used, but then many files were being compiled
as32 bit). 

I used a cmd prompt that came with Msft vs express 2012 called 64x cross tools. It had some preset env variables. So,
maybeI missed a var, or maybe the prompt didn't allow 64 bit to be switched to 32. Whatever the case, it compiled and
installed.

Thank you for taking the time to look through the file and answer me.
