Build pgRouting for Windows

Warning

This manual page is a checklist of what is needed to build a Windows binary for pgRouting. It was written some time ago, so it might be outdated.

  • Environment

    • MinGW 5.0.3 (install to E:/Build/mingw)
    • MSYS-1.0.11 (install to E:/Build/msys) http://www.baldanders.info/spiegel/remark/archives/000209.shtml
    • pthread-win32-2.7.0

Download prebuild-dll-2-7-0-release from ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/pthreads-win32/

cp /include/*.h /mingw/include
cp /lib/libpthreadGC2.a /mingw/lib/libpthread.a
  • CMake

Use latest version(2.4.7)

#./configure --prefix=E:/Build/msys/1.0/local
#make
#make install

Or you can use Windows installer.

  • Boost

Use previous version (1.33.1) because of v2 problem

#bjam -sTOOLS=mingw "-sBUILD=release <runtime-link>static <threading>multi <native-wchar_t>on" --prefix=/e/Build/msys/1.0/local install
#mv /usr/local/include/boost-1_33_1/boost /usr/local/include/boost
#rmdir /usr/local/include/boost-1_33_1

If you don’t need CGAL library (driving distance functionality), pgRouting uses only Boost headers. So you needs download Boost headers(1.33.1 or later), and extract it.

  • Gaul

Use latest version(0.1849-0)

#./configure --enable-slang=no
edit /util/Makefile
        DEFS = -DHAVE_CONFIG_H
         -> DEFS = -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DBUILDING_DLL
edit /src/Makefile
        DEFS = -DHAVE_CONFIG_H
         -> DEFS = -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DBUILDING_DLL
        INCLUDES = -I../util/ -I../../util/
         -> INCLUDES = -I../util -I../../util
edit /tests/Makefile
        DEFS = -DHAVE_CONFIG_H
         -> DEFS = -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DBUILDING_DLL
        INCLUDES = -I../util/ -I../../util/ -I../src/ -I../../src/ -I/usr/include/slang/
         -> INCLUDES = -I../util -I../../util -I../src -I../../src -I/usr/include/slang/
#make
#make install
  • CGAL

Use latest version(3.2.1)

#./install_cgal --prefix=/usr/local/cgal  --with-BOOST --BOOST_INCL_DIR=/usr/local/include --BOOST_LIB_DIR=/usr/local/lib --without-autofind -ni /mingw/bin/g++
#cp /usr/local/cgal/include/CGAL/config/i686_MINGW32NT-5.1_g++-3.4.2/CGAL/compiler_config.h /usr/local/cgal/include/CGAL/compiler_config.h
#cp /usr/local/cgal/lib/i686_MINGW32NT-5.1_g++-3.4.2/libCGAL.a /usr/local/cgal/lib/libCGAL.a
#cp /usr/local/cgal/lib/i686_MINGW32NT-5.1_g++-3.4.2/libCGAL.so /usr/local/cgal/lib/libCGAL.so
