Compiling using MingGW-w64 for 64-bit

Back to Compiling in Windows

1. Installing Minimalist GNU for Windows-w64 (MinGW-w64)

The objective will be to try to use the MingGW-w64 toolchain instead of the standard MingW since it has support for both 32-bit and 64-bit compiling. Note: We are not successful yet, but just writing down our steps as we go along.

Details of the prefixes of files can be found at What to download

MingW-w64 site is http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net

starting with mingw-w64-1.0-bin_i686-mingw_

mingw-w32-1.0-bin_i686-mingw_ (for my purposes I used mingw-w32-1.0-bin_i686-mingw_20110408.zip) and for native 64-bit (currently using mingw-w64-1.0-bin_i686-mingw_20110516)

  • Extract your respective zip into a folder called C:\mingw_w64 or c:\mingw_w32

Geos fails to link if it picks up 32-bit dlls so to overcome this, I copied over the dlls from windows/sytem32 and renamed them as described in #linking errors seems to be caused by as described here http://www.gaia-gis.it/spatialite-3.0.0-BETA/mingw64_how_to.html#env mingw64 is picking up the 32-bit dlls from syswow64 instead of the 64-bit dlss from windows/system32 I only needed to copy ws2_32.dll for geos to compile without errors Others may be needed not sure. with windows explorer copy the files from windows/system32

ws2_32.dll

To your folder: C:\mingw\mingw64\x86_64-w64-mingw32\lib and then rename them adding a lib extensions so you have

libws2_32.dll
# these ones didn't seem necessary for PostGIS: libmsimg32.dll,libgdi32.dll, libcrypt32.dll and libwldap32.dll

2. Installing Msys

MSys is 32-bit but you can use it with your 32-bit or 64-bit mingw-w64. Instructions are here mingw-w64 with MSYS and repeated here for completeness

  • download Msys MSYS-20110309.zip (update there is now a newer MSYS -- MSYS-20110526.zip)
  • Extract into a folder called C:\Msys
  • launch msys.bat
  • type
sh /postinstall/pi.sh

When prompted type in C:/mingw_w64/mingw or C:/mingw_w32/mingw depending on which tool chain you chose Once done, type logout and the console should exit.

3a. Installing Autoconf, Automake and Libtool

Relaunch C:\mysy\msys.bat

Verify which versions of these you have with

autoconf --version

etc.

If they are not newer (or you get not found) than below then download and install. Download the source code from the GNU site and save to c:\projects

cd /c/projects
tar -xvf autoconf-2.65.tar.gz
cd autoconf-2.65
./configure --build=i686-w64-mingw32 --host=i686-w64-mingw32 --target=i686-w64-mingw32 --prefix=/mingw  (if you are building for 64-bit then use --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32)
make && make install
autoconf --version

repeat same exercise for automake

For libtool unzip tar -xvf libtool-2.4.10.tar.gz with 7zip into projects folder

cd /c/projects

cd libtool-2.4
./configure --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --disable-shared --prefix=/mingw
#if you are building on 32-bit then use --host=i686-w64-mingw32 for the host
make clean && make && make install
libtool --version

3.b create project folders

 cd /c/projects
 mkdir pg
 mkdir postgresql
 mkdir geos
 mkdir proj
 ls

GDAL

cd /c/projects
mkdir gdal
cd gdal
wget http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/gdal-1.9.0.tar.gz
tar xvfz gdal-1.9.0.tar.gz
cd gdal-1.9.0

./configure --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --build=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --with-threads=no --prefix=/c/projects/gdal/rel-1.9.0w64 
make && make install
cd /c/projects/gdal/rel-1.9.0w64/bin
strip *.dll

4. Compiling GEOS

Download latest GEOS source from http://trac.osgeo.org/geos/ either the http://download.osgeo.org/geos/geos-3.3.2.tar.bz2 You can also use the trunk svn version https://svn.osgeo.org/geos/trunk. If you are using svn version, make sure to run:

sh autogen.sh

this fails at linker phase with a whole bunch of errors if you compile without doing #linking errors seems to be caused by as described here http://www.gaia-gis.it/spatialite-3.0.0-BETA/mingw64_how_to.html#env mingw64 is picking up the 32-bit dlls from syswow64 instead of the 64-bit dlss from windows/system32 I may have over-copied, but to remedy before evening starting configure with windows explorer copy the files from windows/system32

ws2_32.dll, kernel32.dll, advapi32.dll, mscvrt.dll, user32.dll

To your folder: C:\mingw\mingw64\x86_64-w64-mingw32\lib and then rename them adding a lib extensions so you have

libws2_32.dll, libkernel32.dll, libadvapi32.dll, libmscvrt.dll, libuser32.dll

# hack described in http://www.gaia-gis.it/spatialite-3.0.0-BETA/mingw64_how_to.html#libgeos

simplify/.libs/libsimplify.a(TopologyPreservingSimplifier.o):TopologyPreservingS
implifier.cpp:(.rdata+0x1f0): undefined reference to `geos::geom::util::GeometryTransformer::transformGeometryCollection(geos::geom::GeometryCollection const*,
geos::geom::Geometry const*)'

and bunch of other classes in util::GeometryTransformer..
the .la file gets created so seems to be at linker phase.

-- follow instructions in http://www.gaia-gis.it/spatialite-3.0.0-BETA/mingw64_how_to.html#libgeos

cd /c/projects/geos
tar xjf geos-3.3.3.tar.bz2
cd geos-3.3.3
./configure --build=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --prefix=/c/projects/geos/rel-3.3.3w64 | tee /c/geos_configure_3.3.log 
make
make install

To strip all the debug info weight from the libgeos DLL files, run

strip /c/projects/bin/geos/rel-3.3.3/*.dll

Installing LibIconv

For iconv we are going to compile our own copy instead of installing from GNUWin.

Save the source in your C:\projects directory. Open up the MSYS terminal. Ignore the errors in the configure process.

cd /c/projects
tar xvfz libiconv-1.13.1.tar.gz
cd libiconv-1.13.1
./configure --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --build=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --target=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --prefix=/c/projects/rel-libiconv-1.13.1w64
make
make install

Copy rel-.. contents int c:\mingw\mingw64 folder. For some reason using libiconv-prefix did not work for configuring postgis. Verify if the version of iconv you are running is the same as the one you just compiled (1.13):

# iconv --version

Compiling Proj

Download Proj4 from the web site, and the datum shifts grid file.

and copy to c:\projects\proj The datum grid file must be unzipped into the "nad" subdirectory of the Proj4 source tree.

 cd /c/projects/proj
 wget http://download.osgeo.org/proj/proj-4.7.0.tar.gz
 wget http://download.osgeo.org/proj/proj-datumgrid-1.5.zip 
 tar xvfz proj-4.7.0.tar.gz
 cd proj-4.7.0
 cd nad
 unzip ../../proj-datumgrid-1.5.zip
 cd ..

Apply mutex patch in http://trac.osgeo.org/proj/ticket/72 to src/pj_mutex.c

#if you are building for 64-bit then use x86_64-w64-mingw32 for the build,host,target
#32 bit uses i686-w64-mingw32 for build, host, target
 ./configure --prefix=/c/projects/proj/rel-4.7.0w64 --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --build=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --target=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --enable-shared --disable-static

 make
 make install

Seems to give an error on make install (when trying to copy over the nad folder), but generates files in rel-4.7.0. Have to copy the nad folder manually. The .dll file is strangely called libproj-0.dll. of libproj.dll. Oh well.

Compiling and Installing C-Unit

Download from http://sourceforge.net/projects/cunit/ into c:\projects

cd /c/projects
wget http://iweb.dl.sourceforge.net/project/cunit/CUnit/2.1-2/CUnit-2.1-2-src.tar.bz2
tar -xvf CUnit-2.1-2-src.tar.bz2
cd CUnit-2.1.2
#if you are building for 64-bit then use x86_64-w64-mingw32 for the build,host,target
#32 bit uses i686-w64-mingw32 for build, host, target
./configure --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --prefix=/mingw
make && make install

For some reason, PostGIS couldn't find my cunit install. So I had to copy the files: from C:\ming64\mingw64\include\CUnit to C:\ming64\mingw64\x86_64-w64-mingw32\include\CUnit

7. Compiling LibXML2

mkdir /c/projects/libxml
cd /c/projects/libxml
wget ftp://xmlsoft.org/libxml2/libxml2-2.7.8.tar.gz 
 tar xvfz libxml2-2.7.8.tar.gz 
cd libxml2-2.7.8
#if you are building for 64-bit then use x86_64-w64-mingw32 for the build,host,target
#32 bit uses i686-w64-mingw32 for build, host, target
 ./configure --prefix=/c/projects/libxml/rel-libxml2-2.7.8w64 --build=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --target=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --enable-shared --with-threads=no  CFLAGS=-O2
#Note to self: used to have CCFLAGS=LDFLAGS="-Wl,-static"  in here will see how it goes without
#If you have pthreads installed, libxml picks it up and royally screws up thus the need for --with-threads=no
 make
 make install

You might get an error during the configure process

/bin/rm: cannot lstat `libtoolT': No such file or directory

That error seems safe to ignore.

8. Compiling PostgreSQL 9.1

Download source from: http://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/source/v9.1.3/postgresql-9.1.3.tar.bz2

mkdir /c/projects/pgx64
cd postgresql
tar -xvjf postgresql-9.1.3.tar.bz2
cd postgresql-9.1.3
#if you are building for 64-bit then use x86_64-w64-mingw32 for the build,host,target
#32 bit uses i686-w64-mingw32 for build, host, target
#EnterpriseDb VC++ 64-bit builds are compiled with disable float8 by val. 
#If we don't include this line, the modules compiled against mingw64 will be incompatible with edb builds
./configure --prefix=/c/projects/pgx64/pg91 \
 --build=x86_64-w64-mingw32 \
 --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --target=x86_64-w64-mingw32 \
 --with-pgport=5441 --enable-cassert --enable-debug \
 --enable-integer-datetimes --disable-float8-byval --without-zlib

 make
 make install
#initialize the database cluster
/c/projects/pgx64/pg91/bin/initdb -U postgres -D /c/projects/pgx64/pg91/data -A trust

Compiling JSON-C

This is needed if you want ST_GeomFromGeoJSON to be functional. Download http://oss.metaparadigm.com/json-c/json-c-0.9.tar.gz and save to c:\projects\json-c

cd /c/projects/json-c
tar xvfz json-c-0.9.tar.gz
cd json-c-0.9
## had to compile with -w (disable warnings otherwise it gave errors
./configure --build=x86_64-w64-mingw32 \
 --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --target=x86_64-w64-mingw32 \
 --prefix=/c/projects/json-c/rel-0.9w64 CFLAGS=-w
make clean
make
make install

Copy over needed dlls to PostgreSQL folders

export PATHOLD=$PATH
export PATH=$PATH:/c/projects/pgx64/pg91edb/bin:/mingw
export PGHOST=localhost
export PGPORT=5441
export PGUSER=postgres
cp /c/projects/geos/rel-3.3.3w64/bin/*.dll /c/projects/pgx64/pg91edb/bin
cp /c/projects/gdal/rel-1.9.0w64/bin/*.dll /c/projects/pgx64/pg91edb/bin
cp /c/projects/proj/rel-4.7.0w64/bin/*.dll  /c/projects/pgx64/pg91edb/bin
cp /c/mingw/mingw64/bin/libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll /c/projects/pgx64/pg91edb/bin
cp /c/projects/geos/rel-3.3.3w64/bin/*.dll /c/projects/pgx64/pg91/bin
cp /c/projects/gdal/rel-1.9.0w64/bin/*.dll /c/projects/pgx64/pg91/bin
cp /c/projects/proj/rel-4.7.0w64/bin/*.dll  /c/projects/pgx64/pg91/bin
cp /c/mingw/mingw64/bin/libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll /c/projects/pgx64/pg91/bin

Getting GTK

If you want to build the shp2pgsql-gui loader in 64-bit, you can use the pre-compiled gtk bundle which already has the needed headers

export PORJECTS=/c/ming64/projects/gtk
cd ${PROJECTS}
mkdir gtk
cd gtk
wget 
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win64/gtk+/2.22/gtk+-bundle_2.22.1-20101229_win64.zip
unzip gtk+-bundle_2.22.1-20101229_win64.zip

Compiling PostGIS 2.0

export PROJECTS=/c/ming64/projects
export PG_VER=91
export PGWINVER=${PG_VER}edb
# had to override the paths since cunit was picking up 32-bit junk and crashing
export PATHOLD=".:/bin:/include:/mingw/bin:/mingw/include:/c/Windows/system32:/c/Windows:/c/ming64/mingw64/include"

#this part is a hack, but again didn't work without it #you can try without doing this, but if you get errors about # conflicting type def boolean during PostGIS compile, you need this. #In my case I got this:

In file included from c:/ming64/projects/json-c/rel-0.9w64/include/json/json_util.h:1

                 from c:/projects/json-c/rel-0.9w64/include/json/json.h:23,

  • Open up /c/projects/json-c/rel-0.9/include/json/json_object.h
  • remark out line 32 that reads

typedef int boolean

  • so it should now read

/** typedef int boolean; **/

  • During the PostGIS configure process, you have to put this back the way it was otherwise configure complains json.h or something is not usable and refuses to configure with JSON-C support. Then you remark the line out again during compile. Crazy I know, but json-c won't compile without that line so can't take it out before json-c compile.

If you run into problems with your build, pipe the output into a file for further analysis. The GUI requires that pkg-config be on your PATH, check that it is there by running 'which pkg-config'.

make 2>&1 | tee /c/build.log
make check
make install
