Hi Sandro,<br>
<br>
Thanks for your reponse!<br>
<br>
As I said in my mail, having the "summary" done by a configure is for
me *important*<br>
and for people who work on debian and nt only on debian...because<br>
<br>
"Each time someone - not only from the mailing-list but from people who
send me<br>
private mails - has problem on installing postgis, the infos from the
summary<br>
is important for me helping people to install PostGIS<br>
<br>
I don't care if it is from a command like a 'postgis-config' or a
SQL..but it should be help<br>
me if theses infos are somewhere after postgis was built and installed.<br>
<br>
So do U have any suggestion on having theses infos somewhere (SQL or a
command)<br>
after a PostGIS installation? It could be nice ;-)!<br>
<br>

<pre wrap="">I think using SQL gives less chances of being confusing.
PostGIS *is* a database extension, so all info are related
to the specific database, not to a "primary" installation itself.
What use did you have in mind for your proposed command ?

<pre wrap="">Hi PostGISers,
Happy to send a mail to my favorite mailing-list ;)
I know that my idea is not new but I ask myself, if it could be (before
writing anything...)
Why not using a postgis-config like (geos-config does) for debugging and
maintenance!
I know, i know that for each info I need (example postgis_full_version)
there is a query and a function
(thanks Sandro for the work U do ;) )
But I think that there is a helpfull info which is very interesting is
the information returns at the end of
a 'configure':
cd postgis-1.1.1
./configure
.....
....
....
SUMMARY
-------------------------------------------------------
HOST_OS: linux-gnu
PGSQL: /usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_config
GEOS: /usr/local/bin/geos-config (with C-API)
PROJ: dir=/usr/local
ICONV: 1
PORTNAME: linux
PREFIX: /usr/local/pgsql
EPREFIX: ${prefix}
DOC: /usr/local/pgsql/doc/contrib
DATA: /usr/local/pgsql/share/contrib
MAN: /usr/local/pgsql/man
BIN: /usr/local/pgsql/bin
EXT: /usr/local/pgsql/lib (\$$libdir)
-------------------------------------------------------
I think there are interesting information (above) on these summary that
should be helpfull to have on
command like a 'postgis-config' with options for debugging...
For example, on a Debian (or other ..) PGLIB, PGHOME are not the same
directory! (/usr/local/pgsql and /var/lib/postgresql,
or
So why not writting a command that can do
postgis-config --help
Options available:
--version PostGIS version
--configure give you the command line
use by configure to build postgis here,
--configure-summary ( like above)
--prefix you guess, i think
--with-geos 0 is PostGIS was compiled
with Geos or else 0
--with-proj (same idea...)
--help prints these help then exit
Others options?
If U think it could be usefull, please let me know?
But that's only an idea?
