Hi Paul,
Thanks for your advice!
I thought I've read somewhere that if you use make under FreeBSD it'll
automatically uses the gmake version. But it obviously does not, as the
output of the attempt to compile postgis with gmake shows below. It is
quite different to the make output.
bsd# gmake
gcc -pipe -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -fpic
-DPIC -g
-I/usr/local/include -I. -I../../src/include -DFRONTEND
-DSYSCONFDIR='"/usr/lo
cal/pgsql/etc"' -DUSE_PROJ -DUSE_VERSION=72 -c -o postgis_debug.o
postgis_debu
g.c
postgis_debug.c: In function `decode_wkb_collection':
postgis_debug.c:212: `BYTE_ORDER' undeclared (first use in this
function)
postgis_debug.c:212: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
postgis_debug.c:212: for each function it appears in.)
postgis_debug.c:212: `LITTLE_ENDIAN' undeclared (first use in this
function)
postgis_debug.c: In function `decode_wkb':
postgis_debug.c:281: `BYTE_ORDER' undeclared (first use in this
function)
postgis_debug.c:281: `LITTLE_ENDIAN' undeclared (first use in this
function)
gmake: *** [postgis_debug.o] Error 1
I've found entries of LITTLE_ENDIAN and BYTE_ORDER. But I don't know
what to do with this.
So I definitely took the wrong make utility, but it still does not
succeed.
I found a posting in the mailing list:
http://postgis.refractions.net/pipermail/postgis-users/2002-March/000817
.html
I found that I have to declare the following at the top of postgis.h
#define BIG_ENDIAN 4321
#define LITTLE_ENDIAN 1234
I did so and got the following messages of gmake below. Why are those
numbers 4321 and 1234? That seems to be a little strange. What are those
entries and why are they missing in the default source code?
Well just one Error left, the guy who wrote this posting was happy just
to have one error.
Is the installation of postgis now done? How can I check it?
Bsd# gmake
gcc -pipe -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -fpic
-DPIC -g -I/usr/local/include -I. -I../../src/include -DFRONTEND
-DSYSCONFDIR='"/usr/local/pgsql/etc"' -DUSE_PROJ -DUSE_VERSION=72 -c -o
postgis_debug.o postgis_debug.c
postgis_debug.c: In function `decode_wkb_collection':
postgis_debug.c:212: `BYTE_ORDER' undeclared (first use in this
function)
postgis_debug.c:212: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
postgis_debug.c:212: for each function it appears in.)
postgis_debug.c: In function `decode_wkb':
postgis_debug.c:281: `BYTE_ORDER' undeclared (first use in this
function)
gmake: *** [postgis_debug.o] Error 1
Just to have all necessary information available:
Pkg_info shows the following
gmake-3.79.1_3 GNU version of 'make' utility
And "gmake --version" shows the following
GNU Make version 3.79.1, by Richard Stallman and Roland McGrath.

It sounds like your version of make does not like our makefile for some
reason. Try 'gmake' first and see what happens.
