PostGIS compilation: which compiler ?
The current PostGIS package uses MSVC and is based on a local branch using CMake instead of autotools https://gitlab.com/Oslandia/postgis/tree/cmake
Problem: it implies some effort to include it upstream
Decide what is the best solution:
- keep going with CMake but merge it upstream
- use mingw for the compilation of PostGIS. Be sure that it works with a PostgreSQL compiled with MSVC (that should already be the case of EntrepriseDB PostgreSQL + Regina's PostGIS)
A bit of context:
- @vmora work to build with CMake, based on work from M. Loskot
- Scripts sources for the building and packaging of PostGIS with mingw:
