Thread: wx 2.5.3 success!
Hi friends, finally a snapshot that's working out of the box! I got pgAdmin successfully running with the official wxGTK2.5.3 snapshot. Two small isues: - The xrc library has made its way into the core lib, so the linkage of libwx_gtk2ud_xrc-2.5 must be dropped. - When reading malformed (non-utf8) mime description system files, asserts may be thrown. It's better to have wx compiled with --enable-mimetype=no configured. Regards, Andreas

I suggest we postpone upgrading until after release (hopefully the libpq issue will be sorted later today). Regards, Dave

Not yet, I'm investigating a gtk focus problem (which was present in the old snapshot too) on the wxCalendarBox control (e.g. dlgUser valid until). > > I suggest we postpone upgrading until after release I'd suggest quite the opposite, have RC1 done with that snapshot already (unless a wx showstopper is detected). Our official release should use 3rd party versions that are as official as possible. Regards, Andreas
> Excellent - you say wxGTK; have you tried under Windows? I just tried under Windows XP and it builds fine (you have to copy include/wx/setup_redirect.h to include/wx/setup.h and set wxDIALOG_UNIT_COMPATIBILITY to 0 in include/wx/msw/setup.h). Unfortunately, I don't have the time to give it any dedicated testing, but I will continue to use this version during my work and will report any problems. If you want me to try anything specific just let me know. Cheers, Alex

Sound OK to you? Regards, Dave

Oh, didn't it used to be setup0.h? > Unfortunately, I don't have the time to give it any dedicated > testing, but I will continue to use this version during my > work and will report any problems.

But maybe you are using the CVS version? I don't know enough about wx to be able to clarify this ... Regards, Alex

The idea of installing wx using an installer seems quite novel to me, given the amount of time I spend repackaging our versions of it!! Regards, Dave

Ok, sowe have a beta3. Let's update wx installation instructions (seems we have to test cvs vs. MSI installation) and roll it. Regards, Andreas
