Ok, I hadn't realized that the VS build system extrapolates information from unix Makefiles.. I briefly tried adding a new contrib module for my extension and re-running the VS build (src\tools\msvc\build.bat), and still get the same error. (about redefinition of errcode). Somehow, it seems to me that there's an inherent incompatibility.. -- Deepak
