[postgis-devel] two questions about UsersWikiWinCompile

[Paragon Corporation]

Yah I set the prefix to a different location so can test different versions
of libxml.  Since its statically compiled into the postgis-1.5.dll anyway,
it doesn't need to go into postgres folder.
 
./configure works fine for me under MingW though.  It doesn't work for you.
I think both configure and ./configure work fine for me so I'm indifferent
if you want to change it.
 
Thanks,
Regina

Ok, I think I maybe see the answer to the first question myself. 
 
It was a new approach to it in version 113 of the document. I guess it works
just as good.

Then in UsersWikiWinCompile is it really right the line :

./configure --prefix=/c/thesrc/libxml/libxml2-2.7.6release --disable-shared
CCFLAGS=LDFLAGS="-Wl,-static" CFLAGS=-O2

and if so, should --prefix point to bin-folder or ?

why are we writing ./configure everywhere. Yes, I know, probably I started
it, but to me it douesn't work in MinGW. I have to write just configure
without "./"
