[postgis-devel] Autoprobing java source files

[Jean David TECHER]

Gustavo

I spoke about people that compiled postgis sources themselve on windows..

so I think that's the reason why Markus asked for 'find'

when Markus said "find" means that yo donwload the PostGIS sources and build
the .jar

so U need to use MinGW/Msys in order to have find, make and so on...

Perhaps it may be a good idea if MCA put the java jar in his installer???
for binairies distros...

 Nope. But nevermind, we don't have "make" either :) .

 Nope. Just the SDK from Sun suffices.


 A JAR file is nothing more than a .zip full of .class files
organized in directories. If you want to make things easier
for M$ Windows users you should consider delivering the JAR
itself (not only the makefile) along with the binary distros.

 Or, if I may abuse your good will, you could deliver an Ant
(java version of "make") build.xml. :)
