[postgis-devel] Compile PostGIS on SLES9 based 64-bit

[Silke Reimer]

Hallo!

I came across a problem with the configuration of PostGIS during the
build process when I am working on a SLES9 based 64-bit
architecture. The problem is that the libdir in SLES9 is
$prefix/lib64 and not, as it is assumed for postgis configuration
$prefix/lib. (Perhaps this problem occurs on other systems on 64-bit
architectures as well, I don't know).

For my build process I just patched the Makefile in lwgeom (see patch below).
Of course this cannot be the general solution. I think the best
solution would be to:

- introduce a two variables called GEOS_LIBDIR and PROJ_LIBDIR
  that are defined in Makefile.config
- Default value for both variables should be GEOS_DIR/lib resp. PROJ_DIR/lib
- During configure GEOS_LIBDIR can be defined as the libpath that is
  given by geos-config --libs. This doesn't work for PROJ_LIBDIR
  since proj has not proj-config. Perhaps somebody has another good idea?

Many  greetings,

    Silke
