To use the
PGXS infrastructure for your extension,
you must write a simple makefile.
In the makefile, you need to set some variables
- and include the global
PGXS makefile.
+ and
finally include the global
PGXS makefile.
Here is an example that builds an extension module named
isbn_issn, consisting of a shared library containing
some C code, an extension control file, a SQL script, and a documentation
- You can also run make in a directory outside the source
- tree of your extension, if you want to keep the build directory separate.
- This procedure is also called a
- build. Here's how:
-
- mkdir build_dir
- cd build_dir
- make -f /path/to/extension/source/tree/Makefile
- make -f /path/to/extension/source/tree/Makefile install
-
-
-
- Alternatively, you can set up a directory for a VPATH build in a similar
- way to how it is done for the core code. One way to to this is using the
- core script config/prep_buildtree>. Once this has been done
- you can build by setting the make variable
- USE_VPATH like this:
-
- make USE_VPATH=/path/to/extension/source/tree
- make USE_VPATH=/path/to/extension/source/tree install
-
- This procedure can work with a greater variety of directory layouts.

The scripts listed in the REGRESS> variable are used for
regression testing of your module, which can be invoked by make
