Standalone extension compilation instructions for Windows

Hi there! Usually I ask somebody to compile for me but I think it's time to learn. I've spent hours trying to do it but couldn't. Tried using Visual C++ 2008 and Visual C++ 2010 (using PHP_COMPILER_ID "VC9") but I just can't. I read some blogs and even PHP's wiki tutorial (which actually only explain how to compile PHP) but think I'm forgetting to do something. After creating a Win32 .dll project, I added the extension headers and sources, configured directories and linkers and renamed /php-5.4.0/win32/build/config.w32.h.in to /php-5.4.0/main/config.w32.h as most tutorials I found taught. Do you recommend any step-by-step guide? Or maybe I'm almost there?
