Thread: Problems compiling from CVS
Hello all, First of all, great work on the wx/C++ port! I had contributed a little bit to the VB pgAdmin2 a little over a year ago when C++ discussions first started. I was amazed to see this wx port completed so quickly! At the time I was (and still am) working on a datamodeler for postgres (http://www.hardgeus.com/projects/pgdesigner/). At the time it was in FLTK but I became frustrated with the library, so I switched to wx. I have had quite a bit of interest in the project, but I have never really gotten enough inertia to overcome a couple of the GUI humps I've hit. I thought I'd try to give a go at merging my codebase into pgAdmin3 so here I am. I compiled the wxGTK snapshot located at the mirrors and was able to also compile the version of pgAdmin3 in pgadmin3-1.0.1.tar.gz. However, when I pulled pgAdmin3 from CVS I got the following errors: /usr/local/include/wx/generic/calctrl.h: In member function `bool wxCalendarBox::Create(wxWindow*, int, const wxDateTime&, const wxPoint&, const wxSize&, long int, const wxString&)': /usr/local/include/wx/generic/calctrl.h:247: `wxControl* wxCalendarCtrl::GetYearControl() const' is private ui/calbox.cpp:105: within this context /usr/local/include/wx/generic/calctrl.h:246: `wxControl* wxCalendarCtrl::GetMonthControl() const' is private ui/calbox.cpp:139: within this context ui/calbox.cpp: In member function `void wxCalendarBox::OnText(wxCommandEvent&)': ui/calbox.cpp:436: no matching function for call to `wxCalendarEvent::SetDate( wxDateTime&)' I tried using the wxGTK snapshots in both wxWindows-pgAdmin3-20030831.tar.gz and wxWindows-pgAdmin3-20031010-2.tar.bz2 but both gave me the same error. Is there a newer wxGTK snapshot I should be using with the CVS version of pgAdmin3? John

I didn't have the time to look at your code or binary so far, just some thoughts: A data model designer is a very important tool, we really should have this as open source! I've been working with SyBase AppModeler a long time, and I like the multi-database target abilities. While my heart belongs to PostgreSQL, I feel that a modeling tool should support all database systems. We're a quite careful about what to integrate into pgAdmin3 itself; the tool is dedicated to database administrative tasks, and we feel it's not too helpful to have a menu item that starts an independent window for a new set of features. Still, there's the need for a whole suite of tools (the "pgAdmin suite" we might call it), one of them being pgAdmin3, one data centric manipulation and import tool (planning/brain storming stage), a scheduling tool (pgAgent, embryonic in cvs), and (in the dreams) a data model designer. The latter might well be pgdesigner. Please feel free to use the pgAdmin3 code base to learn how to use wx libraries. IMHO, we're doing quite a good job supporting multiple platforms, and the build system may well be reusable for pgdesigner purposes. A DM designer is _the_ app I'd like to contribute next. Realistically, I might not have the time to do so intensively, but I'd like to add my knowledge. There are some other guys who had built a MySQL centric tool in Delphi, planing to rewrite it with wxWindows, targeted to more database systems. Maybe forces could be joined. > > Is there a newer wxGTK snapshot I should be using with the CVS version > of pgAdmin3? Yes, there is; please use wxWindows-pgAdmin3-20031010-6.tar.bz2. The compiler error shows that there's at least one required patch missing that makes the two methods mentioned public. Regards, Andreas

Do not hesitate to contact me for the translation of your application. If you wish, we could probably use the pgAdmin translation network: http://www.pgadmin.org/translation.php. Cheers, Jean-Michel Pouré

Seconded.

Mark and I are in the early design phases of a 4GL as well, though that is likely to be a longterm project... Regards, Dave.
