[postgis-users] Mac OS X Server 10.3 info: postgis 0.9.0 works with postgresql-7.4.2

[Kevin Belanger]

Folks,

In case others out there have previously struggled with PostGIS and the 
OS X dynamic linker, as of 10.3 (at least OS X Server) it is no longer 
an issue.

Somebody at Refractions might wanna brag about this to Apple - they 
love adding neat-o open-source tools to their "now works on OS X" list. 
And i'd love to see some spatial query benchmarks against a Linux box. 
;-)

Cheers,

Kevin

P.S. Details of build:

readline-5.0

	I couldn't get fink to install readline as per apple's instructions at:

	http://developer.apple.com/internet/opensource/postgres.html

	so I just downloaded the source and did a gnu standard: 'configure, 
make, make install'.

geos-2.0.0	no issues
proj-4.4.8	no issues

postgis-0.9.0

	Mac OS X doesn't like prepended LDFLAGS as per PostGIS INSTALL doc. 
Instead, use:

	sudo ./configure --with-includes=/sw/include/ --with-libraries=/sw/lib 
   LDFLAGS="-lstdc++ -L/usr/local/lib"

postgresql-7.4.2

	while postgresql-7.4.5 is current, i couldn't get it to make:

fe-misc.c: In function `pqSocketPoll':
fe-misc.c:1012: storage size of `input_fd' isn't known
fe-misc.c:1019: `POLLERR' undeclared (first use in this function)
