Re: Problems building pgAdmin with wxWidgets binaries for Windows

You shouldn't need to touch the linker config - just use the non-2.9 build
targets. If you're hacking config options, you're almost certainly doing it
wrong.

Unresolved PQ symbols indicate you don't have either the PostgreSQL
libraries installed (I'd suggest using the EnterpriseDB installer as we
know that'll work), or you don't have %PGDIR% pointing to the installation.
