Thread: Build only clients

Build only clients

From
Steve Crawford
Date:
We have a dedicated PostgreSQL server but a variety of client machines
ranging from soon to be retired SCO 5.0.x to SuSE 10.

What is the recommended method to build/install/deploy only the
client-side libraries and utilities (psql, pg_dump, etc.) and not the
server?

We have a development box for each supported client OS which would also
need headers but none of them need the server.

If I overlooked something in the docs just point me the right direction.

Thanks,
Steve

The INSTALL file in the tar file suggests:

Client-only installation: If you want to install only the client
applications and interface libraries, then you can use these commands:
gmake -C src/bin install
gmake -C src/include install
gmake -C src/interfaces install
gmake -C doc install

Doh! Sometimes it's better to go home and start the next morning. :) I
was too busy looking through the makefile for "make libraries" or "make
utilities", etc. to step back and reread INSTALL.

Of course adding "make interfaces" etc. would be a convenient and quick
addition to the makefile...

Cheers,
Steve
