Windows binaries for PostGIS 1.4RC1 for PostgreSQL 8.3 and 8.4

[Paragon Corporation-2]

We have up experimental binaries if any windows users want to test drive the
1.4RC1.

For PostgreSQL 8.3 1.4.0 RC1
http://postgis.refractions.net/download/windows/pg83/experimental/postgis/

(both the WKT Raster and PostGIS experimental builds will be located here
for 8.3)
http://postgis.refractions.net/download/windows/pg83/experimental/   

For PostgreSQL 8.4 1.4.0 RC1
http://postgis.refractions.net/download/windows/pg84/experimental/postgis/

(both the WKT Raster and PostGIS experimental builds will be located here
for 8.4 (I don't have the latest wkt raster for 8.4 though you can fine the
last in the archive folder)
http://postgis.refractions.net/download/windows/pg84/experimental/   

These are just the binaries -- no installer included.

Hopefully the README is clear enough.

We plan to have frequent interim builds for Windows users in the future for
our 1.5 SVN and WKT Raster to make it easier for Windows users to help
Test these out and eventually automate this process to make it even more
frequent.

I think as someone already noted -- compiling PostGIS under windows is
currently not as easy as it is under Linux and I as of yet haven't been able
to compile the shp2gui yet under MingW windows. Getting closer but still no
cigar.

Thanks,
Regina

Problems with the GTK+ part? Is there an error that does not go away?

I've noticed that shp2pgsql-gui.c (current SVN) is lacking a WinMain() function.
Might that cause the problem?

Steffen

Steffen,
Not even that far along.  I got stuck at the gtk dependency.  Keeps
complaining about missing cairo_pdf.h even though I compiled cairo with pdf
enabled.  I tried using pre-built binaries of this but htat didn't help the
situation.

I read somewhere this could be an issue with mingw but the hack of creating
my own pkg-config wrapper script didn't work or perhaps I did it wrong.

.html

Anyrate we are in the middle of building a new mingw environment using
virtual box and als other environments for testing it out all these things.

But if any body wants to take a stab at this, I would be very greatful.  Now
that PgAdmin III has this plug-ins features which is pretty simple to hook
into, I was hoping to have shp2gui hang off of that.

I have some people I know who get paralyzed at the thought of having to go
to a command-line and expect to have everything available from the SQL
Management screen, so this will make their lives a little easier.

Thanks,
Regina
