Hi Charlie,

No, I don't think I've seen this although I've only been looking at the
problem on-and-off since RC1. Glad that you could replicate a build from
the current SVN as so far I think we are the only two people actively
using MingW!

If GEOS hits RC4, I'm tempted to put out a "technology preview" of the
PostGIS Win32 installer for PostgreSQL 8.2 with PostGIS 1.2/GEOS 3.0RC4
for testing purposes. Since my only test has been to run XMLTester and
see that all tests pass, I think that the extra user accessibility may
help catch any subtle last minute bugs. Paul, does that sound as if it
would be a useful idea?


Kind regards,

Mark.
