OK, here's for a rebound. Now running ubuntu 16.04. I pulled the pgadmin4 source from git and managed to make qmake use python3 en qt5 (the latter using qmake -qt=qt5 after installing some dependencies) But I get an error about webenginewidgets: Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: webenginewidgets
But that seems inevitable, because it appears that webenginewidgets is not available for Dbian/Ubuntu. See this bug for more info on that: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qtbase-opensource-src/+bug/1579265 Accordingly, it seems impossible to build the executable because QWebView is missing. The error: $ make g++ -c -m64 -pipe -I/home/wbloos/.virtualenvs/pgadmin4/include/python3.5m -I/home/wbloos/.virtualenvs/pgadmin4/include/python3.5m -O2 -Wall -W -D_REENTRANT -DPGADMIN4_USE_WEBKIT -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_WEBKIT_LIB -DQT_GUI_LIB -DQT_NETWORK_LIB -DQT_CORE_LIB -DQT_SHARED -I/usr/share/qt4/mkspecs/linux-g++-64 -I. -I/usr/include/qt4/QtCore -I/usr/include/qt4/QtNetwork -I/usr/include/qt4/QtGui -I/usr/include/qt4/QtWebKit -I/usr/include/qt4 -I. -I. -o pgAdmin4.o pgAdmin4.cpp In file included from TabWindow.h:16:0, from BrowserWindow.h:16, from pgAdmin4.cpp:29: WebViewWindow.h:24:20: fatal error: QWebView: No such file or directory compilation terminated. Makefile:272: recipe for target 'pgAdmin4.o' failed make: *** [pgAdmin4.o] Error 1 Is there a way to run pgAdmin4 as a desktop app (outside of the browser), preferably using dependencies from the regular repositories, on Ubuntu?
