I still can't build under MingW; I've posted the relevant output here in
case someone finds it useful:
http://www.ilande.co.uk/tmp/geos-3.0.0rc3-error.txt. It's related to the
inlines, but my C++-Fu is not particularly strong...

Hmmm that is a bit of a pain. Last time I checked, the free version of
the VC++ compiler does not allow you to distribute the resulting
executables which would cause problems generating the Win32 installers.
Is there any possible way that the inlines could be fixed to work under
MingW?

AFAICT the build/ directory, although present in SVN, is not present in
the geos-3.0.0rc3.tar.bz2 release archive.


Kind regards,

Mark.
