[postgis-users] Windows 64 bit builds

[Knut Aksnes-NOR]

To me this seems like a libtools related problem, my initial guess is that you don't use the C++ compiler for linking, I see from the configure.in (in GEOS) file that you are doing some tricks to make libtools use C for linking. This really needs to be C++ not C. See http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual/html_node/C_002b_002b-libraries.html#C_002b_002b-libraries for an explanation why.

> I see that there are no prebuilt binaries for Windows 64 bit. Are there issues with Win 64 or just lack of resources to do build and packaging?

Yes.  We are having trouble getting Win 64 to compile all the dependencies needed under MingW and VS

http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/wiki/DevWikiWinMingW64


The VS is probably mostly our eneptness at dealing with solution files.  Though the solution files from 1.4 are probably so antiquated they would need a ton of work to get them to work for 2.0 so MingW seemed like the easiest route.

For MingW we got stuck at the GEOS compile stage.

Any help of proficient windows builders would be greatly appreciated and we would be willing to continue the packaging once we get over this hump.

Thanks,
Leo and Regina
