Are there any options for linking a Microsoft sql database to a postgresql database?
(I want the postgresql database to be the "puller")

Building source code on windows is radically different than doing so on unix, so no. The only thing that might work is
settingup a cygwin environment and seeing if it will build in that.
BTW, if you want to get an easier introduction to using unix than switching to an actual linux/unix get a Mac. The
commandline is unix.
