[postgis-users] Using/Compiling PostGIS on Windows XP/Cygwin for use with PostgreSQL

[Rudolf Nottrott]

Sorry for my ignorance with this, but I know nothing about PostgreSQL 
"native" window builds.  Would those be PostgreSQL packages precompiled for 
Windows (something like PostSQL *.dll), in other words PostgreSQL WIndows 
binary packages, DLLs?

Do those come with PostGIS and other contrib modules, or how are new 
modules added to those?

Thanks,
Rudolf
