[postgis-devel] RE: PostGIS compilation with Cygwin

[Obe, Regina]

Rimma, 
 
I'm not sure if building on Cygwin is still being tested with postgis so
its kind of hard to tell what kind of strange errors you would be
getting.
 
Have you tried compiling with MinGW.  I think that's what most Windows
developers are using to compile Postgis.  That's what I usually use but
its been a while since I've done that myself.  I haven't tried Ming on
my windows vista laptop, so I'm not sure if there are any issues with
running that on Vista.
 
Sorry I'm not of much help.
 
Regina

Hi Regina,

 

No on the opposite, I am running PostgreSQL on Windows Vista.

The reason I use cygwin is because that's how my PostgreSQL was

setup (to be built with cygwin).

 

 

 

When I issue a 'make' for PostGIS, I get a lot of undefined statements

(something has to do with loader not seeing libpostgres.a).

 

.....

 

/cygdrive/c/postgres/postgresql-8.2.5/contrib/postgis-1.3.1/lwgeom/lwgeo
m_nojts.

c:172: undefined reference to `_elog_start'

/cygdrive/c/postgres/postgresql-8.2.5/contrib/postgis-1.3.1/lwgeom/lwgeo
m_nojts.

c:172: undefined reference to `_elog_finish'

lwgeom_nojts.o: In function `isring':

/cygdrive/c/postgres/postgresql-8.2.5/contrib/postgis-1.3.1/lwgeom/lwgeo
m_nojts.

c:196: undefined reference to `_elog_start'

 

....

 

I have seen posts suggesting modifying the Makefile. I've tried all of
them, but

I keep getting undefines, so I wanted to ask for help.

 

If you have any suggestions, please let me know.

 

Thank you,

Rimma

Rimma,

 

Just wondering why you want to use Cygwin? Are you using very old

hardware like windows 95 or NT or something.

 

I haven't heard of any people trying to run PostGIS on Cygwin since

PostgreSQL introduced native windows support in (PostgreSQL 8.0

version).

 

From what I remember of compiling postgis on Cygwin - it pretty much

followed the unix instructions.

Hope that helps,

Regina

Hi,

 

Can anyone refer me to the PostGIS compilation guide with Cygwin.

 

Thank you,

Rimma
