Thanks a lot Marco for this email and the one I sent before about the shared libraries. I didn't answer before because I was inscribed as digest, so I just dropped that recently and subscribed again.

That *.a file definitely did the trick, many thanks for that. I just explained what I did in the PostGIS mailing list also, perhaps someone else can find the solution there.

Thanks again,

Gery

Hello,

I'm trying to install postgis 2.2.0dev (http://postgis.net/stuff/postgis-2.2.0dev.tar.gz), but I got an error saying:

/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/4.8.3/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: cannot find -lpostgres
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
/usr/lib/postgresql/pgxs/src/makefiles/../../src/Makefile.shlib:377: recipe for target 'postgis-2.2.dll' failed
make[1]: *** [postgis-2.2.dll] Error 1

In my cygwin (latest version, 32-bit), postgres.exe is in /usr/sbin and this path is already in $LD_LIBRARY_PATH in my .bashrc.

How can I solve that?

Thanks for any hints,

Gery

PS: The full error message is here:

probably my fault.
Could you copy
http://matzeri.altervista.org/works/postgres/libpostgres.a

on /usr/lib
and see if this solve the issue ?

Thanks
Marco
