 Priority:  medium   |   Milestone:  PostGIS 1.5.2

 We were trying to get a build of PostGIS 1.5 prepared for PostgreSQL 9.0
 beta1 and we seem to be having some difficulties.

 Has anyone tried this.  The error we are getting

 {{{
 /bin/sh.exe
 c:/projects/pg/pg90b1/lib/POSTGR~1/pgxs/src/MAKEFI~1/../../config/missing
 perl ../utils/postgis_proc_upgrade.pl postgis.sql 1.5 >
 postgis_upgrade_15_minor.sql
 c:/projects/pg/pg90b1/lib/POSTGR~1/pgxs/src/MAKEFI~1/../../config/missing:
 c:/projects/pg/pg90b1/lib/POSTGR~1/pgxs/src/MAKEFI~1/../../config/missing:
 No such file or directory
 }}}

 Not sure if this has to do with the pgxs change made in 1.5 or just a typo
 we have somewhere.  We are going to try to build on another box to see if
 its just an error in our script.

 On a side note -- since we seem to be stuck completely with PostGIS 2.0
 (can't compile Geos 3.3 not PostGIS 2.0 under mingW) --  I'm thinking this
 may be a message from above that we should just do a native VS build for
 the 2.0 release.  I'm hoping we can start tackling that in the next week
 or so.  The PostgreSQL 9.0 is going to support native Windows 64-bit and
 with that said we'd have to start using msys64 or just compile under VS if
 we don't want to force people to run PostgreSQL in 32-bit mode.  Given
 most windows developers seem to prefer Visual Studio/Express as well as
 the cross boundary issues we have faced with libxml,  seems we need to
 move there eventually.
