This distribution contains a module which implements GIS simple features, ties
the features to R-tree indexing, and provides many spatial functions for
http://trac.osgeo.org/proj/
-* GEOS (Required, Version 3.3.0 or higher):
+* GEOS (Required, Version 3.3.0 or higher
+ - 3.4+ is strongly recommended and needed for full features):
The GEOS library provides support for exact topological tests such as
ST_Touches(), ST_Contains(), ST_Disjoint() and spatial operations such as
* GNU gettext
The loader, and hence PostGIS, requires GNU gettext 0.14 or higher
+ for translation support
(typically in libc on GNU/Linux, in which case 0.17 is required).
* JSON-C (Optional, Version 0.9 or higher)
apt-get install libjson0-dev
-* GDAL (Optional, Version 1.6.0 or higher)
+* GDAL (Optional, Version 1.8.0 or higher 1.9+ is strongly recommended) needed for raster support
+ Also needed to install PostGIS using CREATE EXTENSION postgis; syntax
GDAL (http://gdal.org) is *required* if you want to compile PostGIS
with raster support. To compile without raster support you
must ``./configure --without-raster``
+
+* CGAL 4.1+ and SFCGAL (Optional) needed for advanced 3D support
+https://github.com/Oslandia/SFCGAL
CONFIGURATION
If you want to compile PostGIS *without* Topology support, you must provide the
``--without-topology`` option.
+PostGIS will be compiled with sfcgal support if it is found. You can explicitly
+state the location with --with-sfcgal=path/to/sfcgal
+
See ``./configure --help`` for more options.
This chapter details the steps required to install PostGIS.
