pgAdmin Windows Builds
These notes describe how to setup a Windows development/build environment for pgAdmin. Only 64 bit builds are supported from v4.30 onwards, however 32 bit builds may still work with suitable adjustments.
Installing build requirements
-
Install Visual Studio 2017 Pro from https://my.visualstudio.com/Downloads?q=Visual%20Studio%202017. Choose the Desktop development with C++ option, and ensure that you add the 'Visual C++ MFC for x86 and x64' option.
-
Install Chocolatey from https://chocolatey.org/install#individual
-
Install various command line tools:
choco install -y awk bzip2 cmake diffutils dotnet3.5 gnuwin32-coreutils.install gzip git html-help-workshop meson innosetup ninja nodejs-lts python sed strawberryperl wget winflexbison3 yarn
-
Ensure the GNU CoreUtils and Microsoft HTML Help Workshop are in the system path - add:
- C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin
- C:\Program Files (x86)\HTML Help Workshop
-
Upgrade pip:
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
-
Install virtualenv:
pip install virtualenv
Building dependencies
The following steps should be run from a Visual Studio 64bit command prompt.
-
Create a directory for the dependencies:
mkdir c:\build64
-
Download the zlib source code, unpack, and build it:
wget https://zlib.net/zlib-1.3.11.tar.gz tar -zxvf zlib-1.3.1.tar.gz cd zlib-1.3.1 nmake -f win32/Makefile.msc mkdir c:\build64\zlib mkdir c:\build64\zlib\bin copy zlib1.dll c:\build64\zlib\bin\ copy zlib1.pdb c:\build64\zlib\bin\ mkdir c:\build64\zlib\include copy zlib.h c:\build64\zlib\include\ copy zconf.h c:\build64\zlib\include\ mkdir c:\build64\zlib\lib copy zlib.lib c:\build64\zlib\lib\ copy zlib.pdb c:\build64\zlib\lib\ copy zdll.lib c:\build64\zlib\lib\ copy zdll.exp c:\build64\zlib\lib\ cd ..
-
Download the OpenSSL source code, unpack and build it:
wget https://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-3.0.13.tar.gz tar -zxvf openssl-3.0.13.tar.gz cd openssl-3.0.13 perl Configure VC-WIN64A no-asm --prefix=C:\build64\openssl no-ssl3 no-comp nmake nmake test nmake install cd ..
Note that if you are not working in an administrative account, you may need to create and give your regular account appropriate permissions to write/modify files in C:\Program Files\Common Files\SSL. This is the default directory used for the OPENSSLDIR, and should not be changed to a directory that un-privileged users could potentially write to.
-
Download the MIT Kerberos source code, unpack and build it:
In a 32bit Visual Studio command prompt:
wget https://kerberos.org/dist/krb5/1.21/krb5-1.21.2.tar.gz tar -zxvf krb5-1.21.2.tar.gz mkdir C:\build64\krb5 cd krb5-1.21.2\src set KRB_INSTALL_DIR=C:\build64\krb5 nmake -f Makefile.in prep-windows
Optionally, if you want 32bit binaries as well as 64bit:
nmake NODEBUG=1 nmake install NODEBUG=1
In a 64bit Visual Studio command prompt:
cd krb5-1.21.2\src set PATH=%PATH%;"%WindowsSdkVerBinPath%"\x86 set KRB_INSTALL_DIR=C:\build64\krb5 nmake NODEBUG=1 nmake install NODEBUG=1 cd ..\..
-
[PostgreSQL 16 and below]: Download the PostgreSQL source code, unpack and build it:
wget https://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/source/v13.3/postgresql-16.3.tar.gz tar -zxvf postgresql-16.3.tar.gz cd postgresql-16.3\src\tools\msvc >> config.pl echo # Configuration arguments for vcbuild. >> config.pl echo use strict; >> config.pl echo use warnings; >> config.pl echo. >> config.pl echo our $config = { >> config.pl echo asserts =^> 0, # --enable-cassert >> config.pl echo ldap =^> 1, # --with-ldap >> config.pl echo extraver =^> undef, # --with-extra-version=^<string^> >> config.pl echo gss =^> undef, # --with-gssapi=^<path^> >> config.pl echo icu =^> undef, # --with-icu=^<path^> >> config.pl echo nls =^> undef, # --enable-nls=^<path^> >> config.pl echo tap_tests =^> undef, # --enable-tap-tests >> config.pl echo tcl =^> undef, # --with-tcl=^<path^> >> config.pl echo perl =^> undef, # --with-perl >> config.pl echo python =^> undef, # --with-python=^<path^> >> config.pl echo openssl =^> 'C:\build64\openssl', # --with-openssl=^<path^> >> config.pl echo uuid =^> undef, # --with-ossp-uuid >> config.pl echo xml =^> undef, # --with-libxml=^<path^> >> config.pl echo xslt =^> undef, # --with-libxslt=^<path^> >> config.pl echo iconv =^> undef, # (not in configure, path to iconv) >> config.pl echo zlib =^> 'C:\build64\zlib' # --with-zlib=^<path^> >> config.pl echo }; >> config.pl echo. >> config.pl echo 1; >> buildenv.pl echo $ENV{PATH} = "C:\\build64\\openssl\\bin;C:\\build64\\zlib\\bin;$ENV{PATH}"; perl build.pl Release perl vcregress.pl check perl install.pl c:\build64\pgsql copy c:\build64\zlib\bin\zlib1.dll c:\build64\pgsql\bin\ copy c:\build64\openssl\bin\libssl-3-x64.dll c:\build64\pgsql\bin\ copy c:\build64\openssl\bin\libcrypto-3-x64.dll c:\build64\pgsql\bin\
Setting up a dev environment
This section describes the steps to setup and run pgAdmin for the first time in a development environment. You do not need to complete this section if you just want to build an installer.
-
Check out the source code:
git clone https://github.com/pgadmin-org/pgadmin4.git
-
Install and build the JS dependencies:
cd pgadmin4\web yarn install yarn run bundle
-
Create a virtual env:
cd pgadmin4 python -m venv venv pip install -r web\regression\requirements.txt pip install sphinx pip install sphinxcontrib-youtube
You should now be able to run the pgAdmin Python application, or build the desktop runtime.
Building an installer
-
Set the required environment variables, either system-wide, or in a Visual Studio 2017 64bit command prompt. Note that the examples shown below are the defaults for the build system, so if they match your requirements you don't need to set them:
SET "PGADMIN_POSTGRES_DIR=C:\build64\pgsql" SET "PGADMIN_PYTHON_DIR=C:\Python312" SET "PGADMIN_KRB5_DIR=C:\build64\krb5" SET "PGADMIN_INNOTOOL_DIR=C:\Program Files (x86)\Inno Setup 6" SET "PGADMIN_SIGNTOOL_DIR=C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.17763.0\x64" SET "PGADMIN_VCREDIST_DIR=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional\VC\Redist\MSVC\14.16.27012"
-
Run:
make
If you have a code signing certificate, this will automatically be used if found in the Windows Certificate Store to sign the installer.
- Find the completed installer in the dist/ subdirectory of your source tree.
