[postgis-devel] 1.4 SVN Compile problems

[Obe, Regina]

Mark,

This sounds great.  I wasn't so much concerned about package
maintainers, but more people like me who don't want to be bothered with
compiling
PostgreSQL from source and get their PostgreSQL from repository but want
the latest and greatest PostGIS which the package maintainer is usually
one version behind or doesn't have the ideal set of Geos/Proj.

Sounds like your fix will solve that issue at anyrate. 

Let me know when you have in place and I'll test again. For now I'm
testing the postgis 1.3.4 SVN which compiles fine and doesn't have the
dependency issue.

Thanks,
Regina

Hi Regina,

I had a look at this and discovered that there is a better way of doing 
this - the problem is that I used the flags variable from the old 1.3 
build system when in fact there is a separate one just for linking 
against libpq. In terms of dependencies, that's not too much of an issue

as these can be handled automatically by the package maintainers - but 
I'm fairly sure I can remove most of these new dependencies.

I'll commit a fix for this later, although my SVN tree currently has a 
massive WIP parser changeset for trunk which I need to finish first...


ATB,

Mark.
