Compiling using Mingw64-w64, Mingw64-w32 for 64-bit/32-bit (work in Progress) ¶

Back to Compiling in Windows

If you want to get to the last step fast to immediately start compiling PostGIS without having to compile the dependencies, you can download our prepared mingw64+msys build environment which you can download from ​http://www.bostongis.com/postgisstuff/ming64.zip and for 32-bit (for PostgreSQL 9.2+ (32-bit 9.1 and below have to use old msys chain) ​http://www.bostongis.com/postgisstuff/ming32.zip

If you want to start with your own mingw64 install and then add additional items refer to [DevWikiMingW64_Setup]

3.b create project folders ¶

 cd ${PROJECTS}
 mkdir pgx${OS_BUILD}
 mkdir postgresql
 mkdir geos
 mkdir proj
 mkdir docbook
 ls

GDAL ¶

export GDAL_VER=1.9.2
cd ${PROJECTS}/gdal
wget http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/gdal-${GDAL_VER}.tar.gz
tar xvfz gdal-${GDAL_VER}.tar.gz
cd gdal-${GDAL_VER}
./configure --host=${MINGHOST}--build=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --with-threads=no --prefix=${PROJECTS}/gdal/rel-${GDAL_VER}w${OS_BUILD} 
make && make install
cd ${PROJECTS}/gdal/rel-${GDAL_VER}w${OS_BUILD}/bin
strip *.dll

DOWNLOAD DOCBOOK ¶

cd ${PROJECTS}/docbook

Download the latest Docbook from ​http://sourceforge.net/projects/docbook/files/docbook-xsl/ into that folder and untar.

Extract somewhere. In this case I chose my projects folder. You'll need to set this folder for the —with-xsldir setting

You should have a folder now docbook/docbook-xsl-1.76.1 or something similar

4. Compiling GEOS ¶

Download latest GEOS source from ​http://trac.osgeo.org/geos/ You can also use the trunk svn version ​https://svn.osgeo.org/geos/trunk which is what we use. NOTE: To take advantage of new functions like ​ST_DelaunayTriangles, you need GEOS 3.4dev which is trunk If you are using svn version, make sure to run:

sh autogen.sh
