Not sure if people know this, but PostGIS windows builds are built with mingw64-w32 and mingw64-w64 chains and usually used with EDB VC++ built PostgreSQL. This is mostly because there is too much unix stuff ingrained in PostGIS toolchain making it difficult to compile in VC++.
Anyrate this has worked fine in the past, but when I tried the mingw64-w32 build in the EDB PostgreSQL 9.4beta1 Windows 32, it failed to load. The 64-bit chain still works fine and regresses fine against PostGIS tests. I looked at dependency walker, and noticed what was additional in the mingw postgres that couldn't be found in the 9.4beta1 EDB postgres was a function: InterlockedCompareExchange@12 I'm pretty sure this must be something that has changed in 9.4 because I'm using the same chain to build 9.3 for 32-bit and this InterlockedCompareExchange call doesn't exist in 9.3 (niether the ming compiled or edb compiled) I'm using mingw64-w32 gcc 4.8.0 rev2. I have the same chain mingw64-w64 to build the 64-bit. The only place I could find reference to this function is in src\include\storage\s_lock.h I have related PostGIS ticket here: http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/ticket/2746 Thanks, Regina Obe -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
