I know little about building on Windows, but these are derived files
that should be built by running flex on the corresponding .l file
or bison on the corresponding .y file. A likely explanation is that
you don't have those tools installed, in which case you should have
seen associated errors earlier in the build log.

I checked out source code from the latest master version on github. I was expecting the build would go smoothly since I didn't modify anything.

>These .c files are referenced in postgres.vcxproj. They actual exist but their extension is either .l or .y instead of .c. What am I supposed to do so the build process will find these files with correct extension? I don't think I need to modify vcxproj files to make it work.

I once wrote this:

as part of something else.
