[postgis-devel] Testing on Windows PostGIS 1RC1

[Nicklas Avén]

Regina My problem was already when compiling postgresql 9.0I guess I have something outdated. I will try again now and maybe get back if I don't figure out what the error-messege is about. everybody I know I have had some regression tests failiurs on measures the other week. It is one of those small differences and it only shows for me on a ubuntu 32bit installation. On windows (on the same machine as ubuntu 32 bit) and ubuntu 64bit on another box, it passes. Is someone getting running the regression tests on linux 32 bit with sucess on measures? One thing that is a little interesting about it is that the installations that passes regression tests is the same installations that gives the fenomena in #503. So the installations passing the regreesion tests are the same installations as rounds the answer of area to closest multiple of 0.001953125 I just wanted to mention it if it can be a clue for someone smart about #503 /Nicklas
