[postgis-users] Build PostGIS 1.5.2 under Windows

[Ilie, Radu]

I am not familiar with the MingW builds. If we do use them, will the
resulting dll's have any dependencies on any runtime component of MingW?
Or can we simply take the resulting dll's (for postgis, geos, proj etc)
and copy them to another Windows system that doesn't have any part of
MingW installed?

Sadly MSVC builds under Windows are currently unsupported, however if 
you do manage to get any further please do update the wiki with your 
progress. Is there any particular reason that you can't use the MingW 
builds?
