Compiling from pgadmin 4 sources?

Question

linux

I downloaded the pgadmin 4 source code ( https://www.pgadmin.org/download/pgadmin-4-source-code/ ) (version 5.6), but, in fact, I got stuck on it. An absolute beginner in this business, but I would like a graphical interface for postgres, and it’s also interesting to find out how this whole thing happens. Please help me to compile this whole thing

Answer 1

On such a project?
Running in the understanding of "how the program is built from source" is usually done on a minimal project, where exactly there will be no errors.
Because there are several options for assembling (and then - basic, but in fact - infinity):
- pre-configured make. The worst option, which assumes the location of the directories only the way the author has. However, the Makefile can be fixed - if you take the time and know how
- configure. Better option. The script checks the system and more or less adapts to it, then forms a Makefile
- autotools (autoconf, automake, libtool) - a superset over configure that creates it. More flexibility, more checks
- cmake is a very commonly used replacement for autotools. More checks, more flexibility

Answer 2

You have chosen the worst version of the graphic face for postgres :) Think, don't make a mistake.

Answer 3
