I can do it if you whish. If someone adds the configure script I *think* that will be enough. As we shoudl all test changes before committing, anything that does get committed should include the updated script.

If a user has more than one wxWindows installation, and they want to use a version which is *not* symlinked (I can think of all kinds of problems with this), then we can provide a --with-wx-version= option so they can explicity specify the version they want to use (2.5-2ud, 2.4-ud, 2.4-d, etc.). - Mandrake 9.1 provides rather old autoconf (2.13-16mdk) and automake (1.4-21.p6.mdk) packages.

Would it be possible to use a more complex autoconf script ... which would work on old autoconf + automake? I think I can fix the scripts so that they can be used with the old versions of autoconf and automake. I will need you to test them to make sure they work, but this shouldn't be a problem. - SuSE 8.2 installation needs a patch to find PostgreSQL headers. A patch has been sent to Dave. Please find it enclosed. I've looked at this patch and I'm pretty sure it breaks regular pgsql includes on other systems, but I will create a patch that does work. Your help is welcome. Do you think the wxWindows 2.5 CVS libraries are stable enough to produce a MacOsX version? This would be a killing news... No, the Mac port is in pretty bad shape, and I don't know how much of it can be blamed on wxWindows (my wxWindows apps work fine on Mac). Your donated Mac is much too slow for me to use (slow from a network perspective that is), and using my laptop for development is somewhat tedious, though it should work for the time being. I am trying to get a Mac machine to put on my network here, which should speed up my Mac debugging. ahp ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster

Why do we need that? There's the --with-wx option, which should point to a valid wxWindows directory, from there the version should be derived. Unicode and debug chars are derived from their appropriate options. - Mandrake 9.1 provides rather old autoconf (2.13-16mdk) and automake (1.4-21.p6.mdk) packages.

Do we need autoconf to be running on all systems? It's just for creating the configure scripts, and the normal download and compile user will never use autoconf. He'll configure; make; make install and that's ok. An ambitious user who wants to contribute or sth. will be required to use the latest tools, including autoconf. - SuSE 8.2 installation needs a patch to find PostgreSQL headers. A patch has been sent to Dave. Please find it enclosed. Sounds strange to me. I'd expect pgsql lib and include to reside under the same directory (usr/local/include and /usr/local/lib, if no special prefix is applied).

Keep in mind that bootstrap also generates two Makefile.in files, so the snapshot would have to include more than just 'configure'. OK, thanks. This is what I did. I only have problems finding PostgreSQL header files under SuSE and Mandrake. Also, could it be possible to support the make distro option? It is sometimes used to ease the making of RPMs. When make distro is run, %(date +%Y%m%d) in pgadmin.spec should be replaced with mmdd. Then, making RPMs becomes easy: rpm -tb pgadmin3.tar.bz2. I added this request to the TODO.txt file in CVS. Don't do it now, it is not urgent at all.

The build-snapshot script does it by getting a clean tree, bootstrapping, configuring and then running make dist. If you need pre-bootstrapped source, grab that.
