[postgis-users] Help with PostGIS Installation

[Craig Miller]

Why don't you use the native Windows pre-compiled version instead?  There
are valid reasons to use cygwin (instructor says you need to, similar
linux/windows dev environments for class, gcc compiler, etc), I just want to
make sure you aren't making it more difficult than you need to.

Hi everyone!
 
I am currently working on a project for school that requires the use of
PostGIS and
so I quickly went to the various websites to find out the requirements.  I
am currently
stuck in installation of PostGIS.  So far, this is my progress:
 
Installed Cygwin and development tools like gcc, readline etc.
Installed Proj4.4.6
Installed Geos-2.2.3
Installed Postgresql-8.2.0 using the source tree (./configure, make, make
check, make install, although there was a problem with make check)
 
After setting these up I followed the instructions on PostGIS.pdf.
 
I placed the unzipped folder of PostGIS-1.1.6 (Also tried 1.2.0 but same
problem)
under :
 
C:\cygwin\home\Mon\postgresql-8.2.0\contrib
 
I also changed the Makefile.config to for Proj4 and GEOS:
 

USE_PROJ=1
PROJ_DIR=/usr/local
PROJ_LIBDIR=@PROJ_LIBDIR@
 

USE_GEOS=1
GEOS_DIR=/usr/local
GEOS_LDFLAGS=@GEOS_LDFLAGS@
# EXPERIMENTAL! use geos C-API (only available with GEOS-2.2.x and up)
USE_GEOS_CAPI=@USE_GEOS_CAPI@
 
Im not sure if the directory paths are correct.....
 
Anyway I go to postgresql-8.2.0/contrib/postgis-1.1.6 in CYGWIN and type:
 
./configure --with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_config
 
The build seems fine at first but eventually I encounter an error:
 
ed reference to `__imp__SPI_processed'
/home/Mon/postgresql-8.2.0/contrib/postgis-1.1.6/lwgeom/long_xact.c:138:

make[1]: *** [lwgeom.so] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/Mon/postgis-1.1.6/lwgeom'
make: *** [liblwgeom] Error 2
 
I encounter this with PostGIS versions 1.2.0 and 1.1.6. 
 
Would anyone know why this problem is occuring?  I am currently stuck here
and
I don't know how to proceed.  I would really appreciate help with this
problem if
anyone has encountered it and has solved it.  I would also appreciate the
validation of the paths I used for GEOS and PROJ4.  Thank you for your
cooperation and
time in reading this :D
