[postgis-devel] Compile issues on MingW trunk

Mark,
On closer inspection I see that asprintf and so forth are supposed to be
defined in stdio.h.

My stdio.h under MingW doesn't have these functions and in fact looks
very different from this one and doesn't even have a copyright notice

http://linux.die.net/include/stdio.h

My msys doesn't seem to have stdio.h aside from sources I've downloaded
which do have these functions.

So maybe my base libraries need to be upgraded.

Can you let me know if you have luck compiling this under MingW?  If you
do, then I'll assume its just something wrong with my install which
wouldn't be all that surprising since I don't know what I'm doing :).

I'm pretty sure I was able to compile trunk under MingW until we started
introducing these new fangled things.

Thanks,
Regina

Mark,

Well copying the configure appears to work, but when I go to make I get
all sorts of errors mostly to do with the shp2pgsql changes.  Note I did
not put in a --with-gui since I don't have wx loaded yet, but I assume
these errors are the core changes and not for the gui.  

shp2pgsql-cli.exe
shp2pgsql-core.o: In function `pgis_logf':
d:/SVNProjects/PostGIS/trunk/loader/shp2pgsql-core.c:177: undefined
reference to `vasprintf'
shp2pgsql-core.o: In function `DropTable':

reference to `asprintf'
d:/SVNProjects/PostGIS/trunk/loader/shp2pgsql-core.c:1538: undefined

shp2pgsql-core.o: In function `LoadData':

reference to `asprintf'
shp2pgsql-core.o:d:/SVNProjects/PostGIS/trunk/loader/shp2pgsql-core.c:74
4: more undefined references to `asprintf' follow
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [shp2pgsql-cli.exe] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/D/SVNProjects/PostGIS/trunk/loader'
make: *** [loaderdumper] Error 2

On my OpenSUSE it compiles fine, but that is configured --with-gui
switch.  Haven't tried without with-gui on that.


Also I thought I had it set last week so I could autogen under MingW for
1.4.  I could have been dreaming and confusing with my GEOS autogen
experience.

For GEOS autogen I get the same warning below but without the errors and
it configures and compiles fine.

Thanks,

Hi Regina,

What if you run autogen.sh on your SuSE box to generate configure and 
transfer the resulting file across? Does it work then?


ATB,

Mark.
