Thread: Building pgadmin on Fedora core 2
Running Fedora Core 2 trying to build pgadmin3 from source.
Build wxWindows from sources. Appeared to build and install no problem.
But when building pgadmin get the following error as it tries to build
pgadmin3.
/usr/local/lib/libwx_gtk2ud_core-2.5.a(corelib_settings.o)(.text+0xa55):

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
I saw similar errors described in the archives but I did not see any
fixes posted.
Does anyone have any ideas regarding these errors?
Had no problems building this under Red Hat 8.0.

After lots of googling I found reference to the fact that wxWindows uses
gtk functions that are supposed to be internal use only (i.e. all the
_gtk* functions). The version of gtk that ships with fc2 no longer
exports these symbols. My solution was to patch gtk to re-allow export
of the internal symbols -- see attached patch.
I could not get gtk+-2.4.0 to build on my system starting from the
(supposedly) fc2 src rpm. So I ended up building a gtk+-2.4.1 rpm using
the patched source as mentioned above. From there, all was well with
pgadmin3.
Mail me off-list if you'd like a copy of my modified src rpm.
HTH,
Joe

It is interesting that you managed to build pgadmin3 on FC2. That is where I started working on this. Did you use a newer version of wxWindows? wxWindows-pgAdmin3-20031010-7.tar is the version I have been trying to use. I built it just fine on an RedHat 8.0 system but on FC2 I get the errors reported previously. pgadmin3-1.0.2.tar.gz is the pgadmin3 version I am using. I also had to track down a patch to fix a problem with the configure script for this version. pgadmin3_1.0.2-0.1.diff. I found this in the archives. The only other issue I ran into was making sure I had ssl support complied into postgresql-7.4.2 since the pgadmin make file appear to be unable to deal with not having ssl support included. So what versions of these packages did you get to compile under FC2 without problems? -- Scot L. Harris webid@cfl.rr.com Tomorrow, this will be part of the unchangeable past but fortunately, it can still be changed today.

Do we really want to maintain a gtk > patch as well? Perhaps, but I have no idea what the implications are for wxWindows if you remove the _gtk* calls. I really didn't want to take the time myself to evaluate it. Clearly that is what needs to happen in the long run though. > Also, I've built pgAdmin3 on a fresh FC2 without having to patch > anything, which means that there are probably changes in the > wxWindows tree to fix this. Perhaps we can backport them? Not sure. My attempts were also on a fresh FC2 install, and I had the problem as described by Scot. Joe
