PostGIS Windows installer source/repository

[Picavet Vincent]

Hello,
I managed to compile PostGIS and its windows installer thanks to
http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/wiki/UsersWikiWinCompile
and with the PostGIS windows installer from
http://postgis.refractions.net/download/windows/
( or http://pgfoundry.org/projects/stackbuilder/ ).

The Windows installer sources seem to be available only for PostGIS
1.3.6 as a source tar.gz.

Is there a svn/cvs repository of the PostGIS installer source code
somewhere ?

I would like to recompile 1.4 and 1.5SVN versions as well, is there a
version of the installer for these versions ?

Thanks a lot by the way for the wiki page and the installer. Building on
Windows can be quite complicated, but with explanations and a magic
installer tool it works like a charm.

Vincent

Not at the moment as not that many people have been able to build the
Windows version; hopefully this will change in future, and we could
reconsider if it becomes necessary.

Not yet. although it should be reasonably simple to make the required
changes to the paths/files to make sure everything is included.

No worries. I think possibly Regina did most of the work on this?

No actually it was Niklas Aven that should take most of the credit for that.
He took my haphazard instructions, put in a  lot of gotchas,  and made them
more coherent and then put these more extensive instructions in the wiki.

Thanks,
Regina
