How to build with Microsoft Visual C++ Express 2005

You might need:

1. Register PostgreSQL directory to your environment.
2. Resolve redefinitions of ERROR macro.

1. Register PostgreSQL directory to your environment.

The directory configuration options are found in: Tool > Option > Projects and Solutions > VC++ directory

You might need to add the following directories: into "include files" - C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.4\include - C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.4\include\internal - C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.4\include\server - C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.4\include\server\port\win32 - C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.4\include\server\port\win32_msvc into "library files" - C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.4\lib

2. Resolve redefinitions of ERROR macro.

It might be a bad manner, but I'll recommend to modify your wingdi.h.
