[postgis-devel] WKT Raster: Why having tocompilePostgreSQL&PostGIS first?

[Pierre Racine]

I got GEOS built. Last is PostGIS (and then WKT Raster). I get:

racinep at DESROCHERSA-02 /wktrasterdevel/postgis/trunk
$ ./autogen.sh 
/usr/share/aclocal/autoopts.m4:22: warning: underquoted definition of AG_PATH_AUTOOPTS
  run info '(automake)Extending aclocal'
  or see http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Extending%20aclocal

Regina already had this problem (http://www.nabble.com/Compile-issues-on-MingW-trunk-td21626492.html) but I don't understand the fix.
