Pgadmin III and wxWindows

From

While I am waiting for my UNIX system to be re-built so I can start
working on the autoconf work, I decided I would compile and run the
current cvs version of Pgadmin III.  I had no problem getting pg3, not
did I have any problem getting the latest version of wxWindows and
compiling that, the question I have is what is the easist way to link
them together?  Should I be linking against wxWindows as a DLL, or as a
static library?  What is the preferred method for doing this?

ahp

Hi Adam,

The current makefile does a static link as you probably saw, and at the
moment thats the way I'm leaning for binary distributions as well as it
should make things easier both from a getting it to work perspective,
and tracking down odd bugs caused by builds on slightly different
systems.

It would be nice to eventually allow both build types though - I assume
autoconf can do that? (I guess it can 'cos wxWindows can be built either
way...).

Regards, Dave.
