There is a third option.  Convince the PostGIS folks to contribute their
code to the PostgreSQL contrib tree.  Then the PostGIS extension would
become part of the standard Cygwin PostgreSQL package automatically:

I continue to suggest this and it may happen in the future but until then

The easiest way to get PostGIS running in Cygwin is probably just to
install the binary Cygwin PostgreSQL distribution and then add my
pre-compiled PostGIS package on top.

for a link to the binary package and the changes I had to make see

Please submit a patch to <pgsql-patches@postgresql.org> to add the
missing DLLIMPORT for cpu_index_tuple_cost to
src/include/optimizer/cost.h.

BTW, under 7.3.2-1, I get the following link errors:

    dllwrap -o postgis.dll --dllname postgis.dll --def postgis.def postgis_debug.o postgis_ops.o postgis_fn.o
postgis_inout.opostgis_proj.o postgis_chip.o postgis_transform.o postgis_gist_72.o postgis_estimate.o
../../src/utils/dllinit.o-L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/lib
postgis_debug.o(.text+0x2e0):In function `mem_size': 
    /home/jt/src/postgresql-7.3.2-1/contrib/postgis/postgis_debug.c:101: undefined reference to `_pg_detoast_datum'
    ...

The above error is due to the dllwrap command missing the following
arguments:

    -L ../../src/backend -lpostgres

I used the attached patch to the PostGIS Makefile to workaround this
"problem." Is this cockpit error on my part?  Or, is the patch really
necessary?

Thank you for looking at this :-)

OK, Will do

Yes ,  I usually hardwire this into the Makefile

AH... Your makefile patch is the correct solution :-)

TO PostGIS maintainers
Please apply this patch to the PostGIS makefile

Thanks

Thanks for the confirmation.

My patch is a workaround *not* the solution.  It appears that the
following Makefile line attempted to deal with this issue:

    override DLLLIBS := $(BE_DLLLIBS) $(DLLLIBS)

However, the above does not seem to work (anymore).

Additionally, my patch does not handle the Proj4 case.

PostGIS maintainers, please do not apply this patch as is.  I'm willing
to help develop a real patch, if there is interest.

Plenty of interest !

Any help making PostGIS installation as easy and platform independent
as possible will be *appreciated* :-)

Let us know where we can help.

Thanks again
