Did it. Copied it to /postgresql-7.4/contrib/postgis/
Now the msges start with GEOS/Germetry problems:



>cc1plus: Warnung: "-Wmissing-declarations" is valid for C/ObjC but not for C+
+
postgis_geos_wrapper.cpp:38:18: geom.h: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
postgis_geos_wrapper.cpp:39:18: util.h: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
postgis_geos_wrapper.cpp:41: error: namespace `geos' undeclared
postgis_geos_wrapper.cpp:93: error: `Geometry' was not declared in this scope
postgis_geos_wrapper.cpp:93: error: `g1' was not declared in this scope
postgis_geos_wrapper.cpp:93: error: `Geometry' was not declared in this scope
postgis_geos_wrapper.cpp:93: error: `g2' was not declared in this scope
postgis_geos_wrapper.cpp:93: Warnung: `GEOSrelate' initialized and declared
   `extern'
postgis_geos_wrapper.cpp:93: error: initializer list being treated as compound
   expression
postgis_geos_wrapper.cpp:98: error: `Geometry' was not declared in this scope
postgis_geos_wrapper.cpp:98: error: `a' was not declared in this scope
postgis_geos_wrapper.cpp:98: Warnung: `GEOSdeleteGeometry' initialized and
   declared `extern'
postgis_geos_wrapper.cpp:98: error: variable or field `GEOSdeleteGeometry'
   declared void
postgis_geos_wrapper.cpp:99: error: `Geometry' was not declared in this scope

And this gets printed a couple of times:
postgis_geos_wrapper.cpp:109: error: Syntaxfehler before `*' token
Syntakxfehler = error in syntax
