Thread: Trying to build pgadmin
I recently decided to look into the possibility of doing some hacking on pgadmin to add some features/fixes that I've wanted. I'm trying to build pgadmin on OS X (10.6 Snow Leopard) using the EnterpriseDB Postgres Plus distribution and the latest svn checkout. I followed the instructions for OS X to the tee, I set the PG_HOME variable to /Library/PostgresPlus/8.3, but I still got configure errors complaining about the postgresql directory not being present. I even tried passing in the --with-pgsql=DIR parameter, but it didn't make any difference. I'm stumped, because far as I know, I have all of the necessary libraries to build pgadmin with the stock install of snow leopard and the enterprise db install. I suppose I could download all the complete source trees for WxMac, Postgresql, libxml, etc, but I'm trying to take the easiest route first. Below is the output of the configure command. Any help would be greatly appreciated. checking build system type... i386-apple-darwin10.2.0 checking host system type... i386-apple-darwin10.2.0 checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... config/install-sh -c -d checking for gawk... no checking for mawk... no checking for nawk... no checking for awk... awk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking how to create a ustar tar archive... gnutar checking for gcc... gcc checking whether the C compiler works... yes checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out checking for suffix of executables... checking whether we are cross compiling... no checking for suffix of object files... o checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes checking for gcc option to accept ISO C89... none needed checking for style of include used by make...

I have a sneaking recollection that PostgresPlus 8.3 on Mac didn't support being used for building extensions or third party apps due to the way the library paths were configured. What's the output from: otool -L /Library/PostgresPlus/8.3/lib/libpq.5.dylib FYI, the PostgreSQL 8.3, 8.4 and Postgres Plus 8.4 installers we produce should all work fine. It's just the older Postgres Plus that used very different technology. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com PG East Conference: http://www.enterprisedb.com/community/nav-pg-east-2010.do

Can you send a copy of config.log? -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com PG East Conference: http://www.enterprisedb.com/community/nav-pg-east-2010.do
