Building on Windows with NMake

If you use ​Microsoft Visual C++ (7.1 or later) compiler, you can build GEOS using ​NMAKE program and provided makefile.vc​ files.

Configure

Building from release sources package, should not require any configuration step.

Building from SVN development branch trunk to run autogen.bat​ script to generate a couple of header files (note: autogen.bat is available in SVN only).

autogen.bat

generate the geos_svn_revision.h file

tools\svn_repo_revision.sh

Notice, tools\svn_repo_revision.sh is a Bash script, so you need Bash some means to run Bash scripts on Windows.
