Hi all,
I'm starting to try building pgadmin on windows (and for windows) myself
and I'm facing some uncertainty.
INSTALL says to install "Microsoft Visual C++ 2010" and "Windows 2010
Platform SDK". I'm totally ignorant regrading miscrosoft developer tools
(sorry), but anyway I have not found the existence of exact such things
mentioned. Instead, there do exist:
- Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 _Express_
- Microsoft Visual _Studio_ 2010 <Pro|Ultimate|Premium>
- Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 (rumors
say, above all, it contains some usefull version of vcbuild utility)
- Visual Studio 2010 SDK (as appeared, it does not contain any vcbuild
utility)
Not much attracted by the "express" name, I've installed Visual Studio
2010 Pro and Visual Studio 2010 SDK. Neither of them has the 'vcbuild'
utility, that is employed in xtra/wxbuild/build-mxmsw.bat
So. What was really meant in the INSTALL? Again, I confess, I'm totally
ingorant about most such MS stuff. But that's why (in part) the INSTALL
file actually exists, so as it should probably help me a bit?
Thank you,
Nikolai

Hello Nikolai,
Not sure about it all, just describing my build env:
MS Visual Studio Community 2013
(C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\)
Previously used Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express which was enough to
build too but missed some files required to make an .msi package.
Afaik, Windows SDK is bundled with VS, there is no standalone package.
vcbuild is replaced with msbuild, which in my case was found here:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\msbuild.exe
I suspect it is installed with C# or .NET components of Visual Studio,
so don't uncheck these when installing VS.
I also had problems building wxMSW with build-mxmsw.bat, so built it
manually one-by-one using projects in wxMSW-2.8.12\build\msw\ with all
targets combinations (debug/release, unicode/...).
Also there should be prebuilt wx libraries available.
Attaching my build scripts, hope that will help a bit.

It may be outdated now.

Hi all,
after 2.5 days of fight I was able to produce a new shining pgadmin3,
even with an installer. What a relief.
It runs, and has that unfortunate bug still at the same place :)
Now going to investigate the bug itself as time permits.
As a side effect, I now have a detailed and valid instruction (saved for
myself) and I know what is definitely wrong in the Windows section of
INSTALL instruction. Maybe I'll come up with a patch to correct the
instruction.

I used Visual Studio 2010 professional this time. No additional packs or
platforms or SDKs or whatever. I'm also going to try with VS2013 later.

Building .msi appeared rather easy, if using some suitable version of
wix. For me 3.5 worked fine, 3.0 didn't.

Thanks for the hint, I tried that approach, well kind of, but
subsequently gave up and switched to building all from Visual Studio GUI
instead. Thing is, msbuild is certainly incompatible with vcbuild (or
why would ms otherwise bother to replace one by another :))) so I
figured I'd better not waste too much time to just learn in all
practical details the history of variuos abandonware.

I think not all combinations are necessary; I only selected unicode and
release, that seemed to suffice. However I had to build wxwindows both
dynamic and static, otherwise not all of dependencies could apparently
be build successfully.

Thanks, yes, they will probably help as soon as I try to arrange a fully
non-interactive rebuild, and I would really like to do it.

Indeed, the INSTALL is way outdated.
Thank you,
Nikolai

Hi all,
According to git.postgresql.org, since 27-Jan-2014 the pgAdmin3.sln has
apparenly switched to using wxwidgets 3.0. However, pgAdmin3 1.20 for
windows released after that date, on 19-Dec-2014 is still bundled with
wxwidgets 2.8 (And 19-Dec is supposedly later than 27-Jan)
How is that?
Are git sources from git.postgresql.org being used for official binary
(windows) releases of pgAdmin3?
Or otherwise why pgAdmin3.sln is there in git?
Or some other sources are being used instead, or what is going on?
Thank you,
Nikolai

We added initial support for it. We didn't switch to it.

Ok, thanks. So does this mean next release will still be using 2.8 ?
(I'm asking because I'd like to not dig into both of them)
Thank you,
Nikolai
