The postgis Portfile 56900 2009-09-03 12:11:45Z nox macports.org $

PortSystem 1.0

Name: postgis
Version: 1.4.0
Revision: 1
Category: databases
Platform: darwin
Maintainers: nomaintainer
Description: adds support for geographic objects to the postgresql database

Long Description: PostGIS adds support for geographic objects to the PostgreSQL object-relational database. In effect, PostGIS \"spatially enables\" the PostgreSQL server, allowing it to be used as a backend spatial database for geographic information systems (GIS), much like ESRI's SDE or Oracle's Spatial extension. PostGIS follows the OpenGIS Simple Features Specification for SQL and will be submitted for conformance testing at version 1.0.

If you haven't already installed Darwin Ports, you can find easy instructions for doing so at the main Darwin Ports page.
Once Darwin Ports has been installed, in a terminal window and while online, type the following and hit return:

%  cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/postgis
%  sudo port install postgis  
Password: 

You will then be prompted for your root password, which you should enter. You may have to wait for a few minutes while the software is retrieved from the network and installed for you. Y ou should see something that looks similar to:

--->  Fetching postgis
--->  Verifying checksum for postgis
--->  Extracting postgis
--->  Configuring postgis
--->  Building postgis with target all

--->  Staging postgis into destroot

--->  Installing postgis

- Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using postgis with these commands:

%  man postgis
%  apropos postgis
%  which postgis
%  locate postgis
