Re: Problem trying to compile PgAdmin

Hi,

the problem is the command-line definition for png2c in pgadmin3.props.

when line 14 looks like that, the build works.

<CommandLineTemplate>"$(SolutionDir)xtra\png2c\$(Configuration)\png2c.exe"
[AllOptions] [AdditionalOptions] "%(FullPath)"
"%(FullPath)c"</CommandLineTemplate>

there is also a build-wxmsw attached that works with vs 2010.

regards,
jasmin
