[postgis-devel] ST_GeomFromGML

[Paragon Corporation]

Olivier,

Haven't had a chance to test this out yet.  Still struggling to get libxml2
to compile under MingW.  Using the binaries with dev headers doesn't seem to
get me anywhere and trying to compile the libxml2 even using the
configure.js for windows doesn't get me anywhere.  I was able to get an
older version to compile but then it was missing a component (will have to
check that out again)

What is the minimum version of libxml2 required for this?  We should
probably document the version in the installation documentation.

By the way my magical GCC is a Susie not a Fedora :)  I need to reset it up
on my new workstation so haven't had a chance to test it out under OpenSUSE.

Thanks,
Regina


----ORIGINAL MESSAGE --
Hi all,

I've just commited (r4668) a first version of ST_GeomFromGML function.


Some points to share with you:

   - XML parsing is based on libxml2 (as we discussed briefly at  
Toronto)

   - If libxml2 not present on the system, the GeomFromGML is just not
     available (so not mandatory to compile PostGIS)

   - If found 'ST_GeomFromGML' cute enough (and It was named like that
     in the TODO), but in SQL/MM they defined 'ST_GMLToSQL'
     I add both theses prototypes entries, let me know if you have  
better idea.

   - I still have to work on this function to finalize it, but it's  
already usable
     for the most current GML parsing usages

   - Regina i'm curious about the unit tests result on your magical  
GCC Fedora ;)


Enjoy,
