For using liblwgeom function in spatialite, I need to compile the library. I found that it is included in the PostGIS code.

My question is, how to compile the library without compiling the whole PostGIS?

What type of system are you trying to build spatialite on? – BradHards Jan 19 at 4:51
64 bit ubuntu 11.10 – Harold Chan Jan 19 at 4:53
Are you looking for GEOS (the geometry library that powers spatialite and and postgis) – Ragi Yaser Burhum Jan 19 at 5:36
No, liblwgeom is another library provided by PostGIS. – Harold Chan Jan 19 at 5:39

There may be an easier way, but one option:

  • get source code for postgis (svn or recent tarball)
  • make sure you have dependencies (e.g. install postgres devel packages, or just do aptitude build-dep postgis)
  • ./autogen.sh (if using svn checkout)
  • ./configure --without-raster --without-topology
  • check results, fix as required
  • cd liblwgeom
  • make
  • sudo make install if required
