Check out the subdirectory prebuilt/windows .  The build procedure uses the standard Unix tools ("make", "sed", etc) from MinGW to drive the build process with the VC compiler.

misc/vc2008.bat should be the easiest approach.  The hardest part is getting the PATH set up properly at the top of the vc2008.bat file.  By the way, what were the errors you got?
