Re: Problems building pgAdmin with wxWidgets binaries for Windows

Hi,

Thank you all, I'm making some progress. 

I think I sorted out the 2.8 vs 2.9 issue (by removing all wxWidgets 2.9 libraries from "Additional Dependencies" under the Linker configuration), but now I cannot figure out why I get a bunch of these types of linking errors: "error LINKxxx: unresolved external symbol_PQxxx"

I'm guessing these are maybe due to the PostgreSQL libbq.lib not being linked with properly - any thoughts on this?

In VC++ we have different build targets for wx2.9 (and, VC++ 2010 is supported - I use it all the time - it's just the wxmsw build script that hasn't been updated recently).

Hi,

in configure phase (on other platforms, I haven't looked at Windows) there is a setting:

    --with-wx-version=2.9

If you can find something similar, that might help.

Hi Florian,

Thanks a lot for your quick and detailed response.

Yes, I followed those pgAdmin building instructions from the INSTALL file. But I struggled (including discovering that vcbuild has been replaced with msbuild with incompatible switches...) with that stuff for a couple of days and gave up, and was hoping the wxWidgets binaries+headers would be the way to go. I am getting much further with this approach but still failing at the end.

I'm using Visual Studio 2010 Professional (running on 64bit Win 7); not sure if that is a problem. I have noticed that at wxWiki (http://wiki.wxwidgets.org/Microsoft_Visual_C%2B%2B_Guide) they recommend using VC++ 2008 Express edition which, as you pointed out, is not so easy to find anymore. 

But as I said, currently my build fails since 'wxbase28u.lib' is not there. However, 'wxbase29u.lib' is there (because I'm using the 2.9.4 binaries, I assume), but I just don't know why the linker is looking for the 28 version and not the 29 version, and how to change this...
