Need help compiling from souce

I'm trying to compile pg 9.3 beta 1 from source using microsoft visual
studio on a computer running windows 7. When I build I run into around 1600
errors and around 36 warnings.
I imagine I'm doing something horribly wrong. The following is the start of
my error log: http://pastebin.com/PdGdvWT7

You didn't paste enough to show any actual errors ...

[ lots and lots of

It looks like you're missing some of the macros that normally get set up
by the configure script on Unix builds. I confess I'm not familiar with
how configuration goes on an MSVC build, but did you follow all the
steps in
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/static/install-windows.html
?

I found out what was happening. When the path variables were manually set, something in build.pl was overwriting 64 bit to 32 bit (not sure why. The build was saying 64 was detected and will be used, but then many files were being compiled as 32 bit).

I used a cmd prompt that came with Msft vs express 2012 called 64x cross tools. It had some preset env variables. So, maybe I missed a var, or maybe the prompt didn't allow 64 bit to be switched to 32. Whatever the case, it compiled and installed.

Thank you for taking the time to look through the file and answer me.
