[postgis-devel] Compiling under Windows

[Obe, Regina]

Mark,

Actually I'm not quite sure what to make of this.  Normally what I do is
do a make, but my PostgreSQL install is elsewhere, so I just copy the
dlls from the postgis folder.

It seems though that if I do a 

make and then a 

make install

, the dlls in the installed directory are magically renamed without the
lib extension so they have the right names.  Just not the right names in
the postgis folder.

This doesn't happen in my OpenSUSE install. The so files in the postgis
folder do not have a lib in front of them.

Signed,
Very confused Regina

Hmm that's strange - the names are automatically generated by PGXS and 
as long as everything is called the same thing, it should just work. How

does it compare with modules from contrib which also use PGXS? Do these 
have a lib* prefix on Win32 aswell? (Apologies but I don't have access 
to my Win32 VM at the moment)


ATB,

Mark.
