Oh, didn't realise you'd stick it in the actual contrib tree. I thought it would build with pgxs or something. You used to have to build postgis from the contrib directory. That changed a while back, but I guess its just habit. It has its own configure and makefile scripts, so doesn't seem t

2007-08-29 Thread Charlie Savage
In addition to the encoding issues I have with the 8.2.4 MSVC++ build (see previous email), there are some other issues that I've run into: 1. The custom build step that generates DEF files for DLLS using a perl script does not work. The perl script runs, and a slew of symbol information is
