Compiling PostGIS 1.5 under VC++

This is still a work in progress

Compile PostgreSQL under VC++ 2008 (express or Studio)

Note that if you are compiling for 64-bit, Express is not supported so you have to use VC++ Professional or above. ​Full details here

We will just cover enough to be able to compile PostGIS so will not be compiling with additional dependencies

1. Install Active State ActivePerl (5.8+) ​http://www.activestate.com/activeperl/downloads
2. Download PostgreSQL source and Extract PostgreSQL 9.0 source tar ball into folder C:\Projects\PostgreSQL\postgresql-9.0.0win
