Thread: /usr/local/pgsql is empty after successful of make

/usr/local/pgsql is empty after successful of make

Hi,
I have a general question about PostgreSQL.
Yeasterday, I tried to build PostgreSQL from source code and the make command succeeded, but /usr/local/pgsql directory was empty even owner of pgsql was postgres user.

I invoked following commands by postgres user.

CFLAGS=-O0 ./configure --enable-debug 
make  -j 2 > make.log

I attached stdout of make command.

This issue was 100% reproducible and there is no error message in the log file and stderr was empty.
As far as I remember, these commands/arguments were sufficient to move built artifacts into /usr/local/pgsql in the past.

What should I do to move built artifacts into /usr/local/pgsql?

I don't think it ever behaved that way, but I might be wrong.

the default (all) target only compiles artifacts, you need to invoke
"make install" to copy the various artifacts in the location specified
during configure (or default location), as documented in step 4 of
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/install-procedure.html.

"make install", or possibly "sudo make install" if you'd rather
the installed files be root-owned.
