[GRASS-dev] PostgreSQL supports needed by GRASS

GRASS GIS GRASS GIS developer

Hi all,

building PostgreSQL for windows using MinGW, I’m querying as follows: enabling PostgreSQL support in GRASS, what PGSQL enabled features does GRASS require (or, better, you suggest to enable)?

  • python? (supposed to be python enabled in GRASS)
  • openssl?
  • libxml?
  • thread-safety?

Thanks for the help

Marco

AFAIK, GRASS doesn't use any of those features directly. There may be
reasons to enable some of them, but those reasons aren't directly
related to GRASS.

BTW, is there a particular reason to compile from source? Precompiled
PostgreSQL binary packages are available for Windows.
