don’tneed to fully build postgres 8.3.3 via source (we use the binaries), we do have a custom module in contrib which
weneed to build a dll from. It seems the above error prevents the building of postgres.lib, which is needed to complete
thebuild of our custom module. Has anyone tried successfully to build postgres under VS2008?</span></font><p
