[postgis-users] Unable to complie on cygwin

[Andrew Haigh]

I know that this has been posted before but I tried the step's oulined 
in: 
http://postgis.refractions.net/pipermail/postgis-users/2002-November/001793.html 
and I can't get it to work.

When I apply the patch I get an error that says one of three hunk's applied.

The error message is:

fu000001.o(.idata$3+0xc): undefined reference to `_libpostgres_a_iname'
nmth000000.o(.idata$4+0x0): undefined reference to 
`__nm__cpu_index_tuple_cost'
Info: resolving _cpu_index_tuple_cost by linking to 
__imp__cpu_index_tuple_cost
(auto-import)
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
dllwrap: gcc exited with status 1
make: *** [libpostgis.a] Error 1

I have the latest version of cygwin, postgresql (from the postgresql 
website) and postgis. I have postgreSQL working with cygipc 1.4.1.

My gcc version is:

$ gcc -v

Any ideas?

Many thanks,

Andrew
