Running Fedora Core 2 trying to build pgadmin3 from source.
Build wxWindows from sources. Appeared to build and install no problem.
But when building pgadmin get the following error as it tries to build pgadmin3.
/usr/local/lib/libwx_gtk2ud_core-2.5.a(corelib_settings.o)(.text+0xa55): In function `wxSystemSettingsNative::GetFont(wxSystemFont)': src/gtk/settings.cpp:346: undefined reference to `_gtk_rc_context_get_default_font_name' /usr/local/lib/libwx_gtk2ud_core-2.5.a(corelib_menu.o)(.text+0xc5c): In function `wxMenubarUnsetInvokingWindow': src/gtk/menu.cpp:275: undefined reference to `_gtk_accel_group_detach'
After lots of googling I found reference to the fact that wxWindows uses gtk functions that are supposed to be internal use only (i.e. all the _gtk* functions). The version of gtk that ships with fc2 no longer exports these symbols. My solution was to patch gtk to re-allow export of the internal symbols -- see attached patch.
I could not get gtk+-2.4.0 to build on my system starting from the (supposedly) fc2 src rpm. So I ended up building a gtk+-2.4.1 rpm using the patched source as mentioned above. From there, all was well with pgadmin3.
Mail me off-list if you'd like a copy of my modified src rpm.
HTH,
Joe
