[postgis-devel] Problems compiling ( libtool )

[Nathaniel Hunter Clay]

Hi all,

I am having trouble compiling postgis svn trunk on Ubuntu 11.10. I have 
gcc installed, is there anything I need to do to inform libtool where to 
point etc.?

Thanks,

Nathaniel H Clay

                            'none' means revert to the default behavior of
                            guessing the language based on the file's 
extension

Options starting with -g, -f, -m, -O, -W, or --param are automatically
  passed on to the various sub-processes invoked by gcc.  In order to pass
  other options on to these processes the -W<letter> options must be used.
