That says:
“The scripts listed in the REGRESS variable are used for regression testing of your module, which can be invoked by
makeinstallcheck after doing make install. For this to work you must have a running PostgreSQL server.”
That does not mean that it starts a new cluster on a port. It means it will test it against an existing cluster after
youhave installed into that cluster.

againstthe installed and running postgres. Maybe having the ability to create a temporary installation, as you suggest,
wouldbe a nice extension.
Yes, that’s what I would like, so I could test *before* installing.
Best,
