Hi, Just wanted to let you know that I was now finally able to build pgAdmin 1.16.1 sources with wxWidgets 2.9.4 binaries using VS 2010 Professional. The issue with unresolved PQ symbols seemed to have been caused by a mismatch between 32bit and 64bit versions; I was wanting to build a 32bit pgAdmin target but had used the EnterpriseDB installer only for a 64bit PostgreSQL.
Dave, to be able to build with the pre-built wxWidgets binaries, I had to tweak the linker configuration according to these instructions: http://wxwidgets.blogspot.fr/2012/08/how-to-use-294-wxmsw-binaries.html KariK ________________________________ From: Dave Page <[email protected]> To: Kari Karkkainen <[email protected]> Cc: Wahlstedt Jyrki <[email protected]>; Florian Klaar <[email protected]>; "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, February 10, 2013 4:40 PM Subject: Re: [pgadmin-hackers] Problems building pgAdmin with wxWidgets binaries for Windows You shouldn't need to touch the linker config - just use the non-2.9 build targets. If you're hacking config options, you're almost certainly doing it wrong. Unresolved PQ symbols indicate you don't have either the PostgreSQL libraries installed (I'd suggest using the EnterpriseDB installer as we know that'll work), or you don't have %PGDIR% pointing to the installation.
