#1713: postgis extension cannot be made without raster

 Reporter:  mwtoews  |       Owner:  pramsey      
     Type:  defect   |      Status:  new          
 Priority:  medium   |   Milestone:  PostGIS 2.1.0
Component:  postgis  |     Version:  trunk

---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
 When building the postgres extensions (for PostgreSQL 9.1+) with
 `./configure --without-raster`, the `postgis` extension build fails.

 There are many references to "raster" and "rtpostgis" in
 `extensions/postgis/Makefile.in`, so this is an expected consequence.

 Interestingly, if `--with-topology` is configured, the topology extension
 can be successfully built and installed in
 `/usr/share/postgresql/9.1/extension/`. However, from psql:
 {{{
 postgres=# CREATE EXTENSION postgis_topology;
 ERROR:  required extension "postgis" is not installed
 }}}

 There should really be a separate `postgis_raster` extension built, if
 configured with raster support. (I'm not sure if it is too late for 2.0.0,
 but I'll assume it is.)
