I have never tried cross compiling PostgreSQL for Windows, and I don't know if it works. If you have a Windows machine, do it there, if not, forget it since you cannot even test your binaries :^) You can either use PGXS with MinGW, which should work just like building on UNIX, or use Microsoft Visual C++ / Windows SDK. If you use EnterpriseDB's binary downloads, which are built with MSVC, you'll have to compile your extension "by hand". I have read a report that extensions built with MinGW are compatible with EDB's binaries if you use --disable-float8-byval (http://www.postgresonline.com/journal/archives/246-ODBC-Foreign-Data-wr apper-odbc_fdw-on-windows.html).
