Thread: Recent refactoring broke VC++ 2005 EE
I'm using VC+ 2005 Express Edition to build pgAdmin and the changes from revision 5762 are (probably) incompatible with this edition. I got the following error messages: "Solution folders are not supported in this version of Visual Studio. Solution folder 'xtra' will be displayed as unavailable." (The message repeated for several other similar folders.) And after those: "Some of the properties associated with the solution could not be read." I said "probably incompatible" because I have not tried to build the solution after those error messages. May be there is a workaround. I suppose this feature, "Solution folders", is very useful but leaving amateur C++ programmers out is not very helpful for the project. -- Milen A. Radev

Just bear with me whilst I figure out a workaround. Regards, Dave.
Milen, here your fist TIP: Do not use Drugs (Microsoft), and you will be fine. Regards, Marcos On 12/7/06, Dave Page <dpage@postgresql.org> wrote: > Milen A.

(I'll ignore the sensible advice to "not feed the trolls".) - I believe it's very nice for a GUI tool to run on as many OSs as possible; - Most of the desktop users are Windows users. - The recommended way to build pgAdmin for Windows is by using VS 2005 (http://www.pgadmin.org/download/source.php). That said - could you help me with advice how to set up a development environment for building pgAdmin for windows using MinGW for example? Or using cross-compilation? -- Milen A. Radev

It certainly is - largely because it's about the best development environment out there. It doesn't matter what you think of Microsoft, Visual Studio is an excellent environment for development and debugging - far better in my view than Eclipse, Kdevelop or XCode. Anyway, I've just committed another refactoring patch which also removes the solution folders. I was echoing the entire source tree in the solution explorer which was looking very useful, but unfortunately I think we'll have to do without that :-( > That said - could you help me with advice how to set up a development > environment for building pgAdmin for windows using MinGW for example? > Or using cross-compilation? Patches to support Mingw (again - it got broken years back) are welcome. BTW - there's more refactoring coming up - you might want to hold off on any complex merges. I'm trying to get this all done as quickly as possible. Regards, Dave.
