[mapserver-users] question regarding postgis

[Tyler Mitchell]

I'm running a windows version of mapserver that has postgis installed.  You
are too aren't you Nicolas?
I certainly didn't compile it either!  Search the mapserver list and I'll
bet you'll find someone (Norman/woodbridge?) that has it packaged up
nicely.

Hi,

I dont know if this helps, but this was posted a bit back on th ms
list. I am using the stuff below, and it seems to work along with the
winbinaries at the mapserver site.

I dont know about php

I dont know if it might be possible to mingw the postgis dll..?

Anyway,

regards,
nicolas boretos

FYI
PostgreSQL is distributed as part of Cygwin and I have placed a
compiled Cygwin PostGIS extension module at
http://www.vso.cape.com/~nhv/files/cygwin/postgis.tgz

There is also a beta Native Win32 PostgreSQL distribution

Cheers

I have placed native WIN32 versions of pgsql2shp / shp2pgsql @
http://www.vso.cape.com/~nhv/files/postgres/loaders_win32.tgz

these seem to work fine for me in conjunction with the following
