Sandeep, Which version of PostGIS are you trying to build? Your configure might be ending for another reason. For example in PostGIS 2.4, I think we now have a dependency on pkg-config which older versions of PostGIS do not. We'll sort this out before PostGIS release, but I think downside at moment, is the it fails if pkg-config is not installed. I forget the exact error you get.
I looked around on net for the -V and from what I can tell, that error is harmless and is just part of the process of configure checking the capabilities of the gcc compile. I checked my own config.log and see the same error configure:2948: x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc -V >&5 x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc.exe: error: unrecognized command line option '-V' x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc.exe: fatal error: no input files compilation terminated. But my configure continues, works fine and in the end shows this: configure:20134: result: configure:20136: result: PostGIS is now configured for x86_64-w64-mingw32 configure:20138: result: configure:20140: result: -------------- Compiler Info ------------- configure:20142: result: C compiler: x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc -g -O2 configure:20144: result: SQL preprocessor: /mingw64/bin/cpp -traditional-cpp -w -P configure:20146: result: configure:20148: result: -------------- Dependencies -------------- configure:20150: result: GEOS config: /projects/geos/rel-3.7.0devw64gcc48/bin/geos-config configure:20152: result: GEOS version: 3.7.0dev configure:20155: result: GDAL config: /projects/gdal/rel-2.2.1w64gcc48/bin/gdal-config configure:20157: result: GDAL version: 2.2.1 configure:20161: result: SFCGAL config: /projects/CGAL/rel-sfcgal-1.3.0w64gcc48/bin/sfcgal-config configure:20163: result: SFCGAL version: 1.3.0 configure:20167: result: PostgreSQL config: /projects/postgresql/rel/pg9.4w64gcc48/bin/pg_config configure:20169: result: PostgreSQL version: PostgreSQL 9.4.5 configure:20175: result: PROJ4 version: 49 configure:20177: result: Libxml2 config: /projects/libxml/rel-libxml2-2.7.8w64gcc48/bin/xml2-config configure:20179: result: Libxml2 version: 2.7.8 configure:20181: result: JSON-C support: yes configure:20183: result: protobuf-c support: yes configure:20185: result: PCRE support: yes configure:20187: result: PostGIS debug level: 0 configure:20189: result: Perl: /usr/bin/perl configure:20191: result: configure:20193: result: --------------- Extensions --------------- configure:20196: result: PostGIS Raster: enabled configure:20204: result: PostGIS Topology: enabled configure:20211: result: SFCGAL support: enabled configure:20219: result: Address Standardizer support: enabled configure:20225: result: configure:20227: result: -------- Documentation Generation -------- configure:20229: result: xsltproc: /projects/xsltproc/xsltproc configure:20231: result: xsl style sheets: /projects/docbook/docbook-xsl-1.76.1 configure:20233: result: dblatex: configure:20235: result: convert: /c/Windows/System32/convert configure:20237: result: mathml2.dtd: http://www.w3.org/Math/DTD/mathml2/mathml2.dtd Do you get an output anything like this or does it just end after that terminated?
