    3 A step by step guide how I managed to compile Postgis in windows XP SP3[[BR]]
    4 This guide assumes that you already have a postgresql-installation on your computer.[[BR]]
    5 You will have to compile postgresql here too, but that is just for the process of compiling postgis.

    72 ----
    73 Environment Settings[[BR]]
    74 When you install command line tools, such as MinGW, or !GnuWin32 tools, you have to tell the command line interpreter where to find them; this is usually accomplished by adding the appropriate directory names to the PATH variable in your environment. Typically, it is your responsibility to do this; please do not expect the installer, (if you used one), to do it for you.[[BR]]
    75 Warning: Adding entries to the PATH is normally benign. However, if you delete, you may mess up your PATH string, and you could seriously compromise the functioning of your computer. Please be careful.[[BR]]
     41== 4. Installing GNUWin Support Packages ==
     42
     43Download and install the following from gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages.html

     50
     51Run each file and be sure to change the install directory to c:\MinGW
     52
     53== 5. Installing LibIconf ==
     54
     55For iconv we are going to compile our own instead of install from GNUWin since GNUWin changed some constants.
     56
     57  1. download source from http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libiconv (we are going to use libiconv-1.13.1.tar.gz)
     58  2. gzip -d -c libiconv-1.13.1.tar.gz | tar xvf -
     59  3. cd libiconv-1.13.1
     60  4. ./configure --prefix=/c/mingw

    7678
    7779   1. Right-click on "My Computer" and select "Properties".
    … …  
    8183   5. Scroll to the end of the string and at the end add ";<installation-directory>\bin". Here <installation-directory> is the full absolute path name of the installation directory; if you accepted the defaults when installing tar and gzip, then for these, it will (probably) be C:\Program Files\!GnuWin32, while for MinGW it will be C:\MinGW\bin, (if you kept to the recommended default installation directory). Don't forget the semicolon; this separates the entries in the PATH.
    8284   6. press OK -> OK -> OK and you are done.

    8789
    8890Download the sourcecode of:
    … …  
    9294    3. libtool  from ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtool
    9395
    94 The latest releases 2009-04-11 is:
    95 
    96  * autoconf 2.63 (1.4MB)
    97  * automake 1.10.2 (1.2MB)
     96The latest releases 2009-11-11 are:
     97
     98 * autoconf 2.65 (1.4MB)
     99 * automake 1.11.1 (1.2MB)
    98100 * libtool  2.2.4 (1.8MB)
    99101
    100 make a folder c:\thesrc and untar the source-files there
    101 
    102 '''Launch MSys from Start->Programs->MinGW->msys'''
    103 
    104 You now get a terminal-window that understands a bunch of unix/linux-commands (at least enough for compiling)[[BR]]
    105 print:
    106        1. ''cd /c/thesrc''
    107        2. ''ls''
    108 Now you will get the folders you have copied to the directory listed.[[BR]]
    109 The names of the folders will be different than in this example if you have newer releases of the tools.[[BR]]
    110 move into one of the folders:
    111        3. ''cd autoconf-2.63''
    112  
    113 ok, now we are in the directory with the autoconf source-code[[BR]]
    114 print:[[BR]]
    115 ''ls''[[BR]]
    116 if you just see a new folder called autoconf-2.63 you have to go into that one to:[[BR]]
    117 ''cd autoconf-2.63''[[BR]]
    118 when you se a lot of folders like bin and lib and a lot of files, then you are right[[BR]]
    119 now we shall configure and make this tool[[BR]]
    120 print:
    121       4. ''configure --prefix=/c/mingw && make && make install''
    122 now a lot of text shall appear in the window and after a while you will hopefully get no error-messages but jut get back to your prompt.[[BR]]
    123 
    124 To verify you are not running autoconf-2.63 do the following:
    125 
    126 autoconf --version
    127 
     102Make a folder c:\thesrc and untar the source-files there.
     103
     104Launch MSys from Start->Programs->MinGW->msys or from the desktop MSYS icon.
     105
     106You now get a terminal-window that understands a bunch of unix/linux-commands (at least enough for compiling)
     107{{{
     108# cd /c/thesrc
     109# ls
     110}}}
     111Now you will get the folders you have copied to the directory listed. The names of the folders will be different than in this example if you have newer releases of the tools. Configure, compile and install autoconf.
     112{{{
     113# cd autoconf-2.65

     118}}}
    128119If it says you are running lower than 2.63, most likely you have another one installed in addition.  Running the below will tell you which one it is picking up.
    129 
     120{{

    141 '''9. Compiling PostgreSQL'''[[BR]]

    144       1. ''cd /c/thesrc/postgresql-8.3.7'' (the version of today)
    145       2. ''configure --prefix=/c/postgres && make && make install''
    146       3.  If you want to be able to do a full make check on PostGIS, [UsersWikiWinCompileInitdb Initialize the postgresql database cluster]

    147149   
    148 note that we now have changed the install-directory from mingw to postgres
    149 
    150 if you get an error something like:[[BR]]

     150Note that we now have changed the install-directory from /c/MingW to /c/postgres.

     152=== PostgreSQL 8.3 ===
     153
     154If you are compiling PostgreSQL 8.3 and you get a compilation error like this:

    157 
    158 the solution is to edit two of the source-files.[[BR]]
    159 In both files: [[BR]]
    160 postgresql-8.3.7/src/include/libpq/libpq-be.h [[BR]]
    161 and [[BR]]
    162 postgresql-8.3.7/src/interfaces/libpq/libpq-int.h:
    163

    176 '''10. Compiling GEOS'''[[BR]]
    177 Download latest GEOS-source from trac.osgeo.org/geos/ ( http://download.osgeo.org/geos/geos-3.1.1.tar.bz2 )
