Building pgModeler

This apply to version 0.9.0 and Windows OS. Read first installer instruction on https://pgmodeler.com.br/support/installation; this just adding some clarifications, the instructions (mainly related to QT paths) are a little bit “confused”.

Download and install the prerequisites

Be sure to:

• Download 32 bits versions for all prerequisites
• Install them in paths without spaces, like D:\PostgreSQL32\9.6

Qt framework

Download the MingW32 bits version from http://download.qt.io/archive/qt/5.6/5.6.2/qt-opensource-windows-x86-mingw492–5.6.2.exe

Install it in default location; otherwise change the paths below accordingly.

Add C:/Qt/Qt5.6.2/Tools/mingw492_32/bin to system path; at some point the make process will invoke g++ and will not find it otherwise.

PostgreSQL

Download from EnterpriseDB the 32 bits version and install it in D:\PostgreSQL32; otherwise change the paths below accordingly.

If you already have a 64 bits version installed be sure to go services and stop/disable the 32 bits service.

Git

Install Git as instructed

Run the build

Download source code from https://github.com/pgmodeler/pgmodeler.git (watch out the path: no spaces…). Check-out version 0.9.0

Change the pgmodeler.pri acordingly:

windows {
  !defined(PGSQL_LIB, var): PGSQL_LIB = "D:/PostgreSQL32/9.6/lib/libpq.dll"
  !defined(PGSQL_INC, var): PGSQL_INC = "D:/PostgreSQL32/9.6/include"
  !defined(XML_INC, var): XML_INC = "D:/PostgreSQL32/9.6/include"
  !defined(XML_LIB, var): XML_LIB = "D:/PostgreSQL32/9.6/bin/libxml2.dll"
...

Start bash from a command window in pgmodeler directory.

At the command prompt run the commands:

C:/Qt/Qt5.6.2/5.6/mingw49_32/bin/qmake.exe pgmodeler.pro
C:/Qt/Qt5.6.2/Tools/mingw492_32/bin/mingw32-make.exe
C:/Qt/Qt5.6.2/Tools/mingw492_32/bin/mingw32-make.exe  install
cd build
C:/Qt/Qt5.6.2/5.6/mingw49_32/bin/windeployqt pgmodeler.exe

Please be patient, it might take more than 30 minutes…

In order to run build\pgmodeler.exe you have to copy in several libraries from:

• C:/Qt/Qt5.6.2/5.6/mingw49_32/bin:
  • Qt5*.dll.
• D:/PostgreSQL32/9.6/
  • lib/libpq.dll
  • bin/libxml2.dll

Now run build\pgmodeler.exe…fingers cross!
