Hi all,

How to compile and build portable postgresql for mac. Can someone
point me how the builds are done for general distribution. A script would
be appreciated if anyone has it.

Regards,
Pratik

You can try
https://postgresapp.com <https://postgresapp.com/&gt;
I don’t have experience much about this app. Looked like working, but psql demonstrate bugs in the text terminal ( iTerm and official Terminal).

Also you can try postgres from brew. It will compiled on your mac in this case.

I'm not sure what you mean by "portable"? I'm going to answer assuming you
just want to run postgres on your own Mac.

There are couple options. Peter Eisentraut has a great collection of
Homebrew scripts that you can plug into:
https://github.com/petere/homebrew-postgresql

I've recently switched to pgenv, which provides a clean CLI for building
and using all the various supported versions:

Re: Compile and build portable postgresql for mac

Thanks, I'll check them out. But what I am trying to produce is a zip
distribution fo Mac is x similar to the one available on postgresql
download site. Homebrew works but it ties the libpg to prefix if the path
where libs are generated. I am trying to do some unit testing across more
then one machine on an ongoing basis.

Hope that helps clear uo what I mean by portable.

Your best bet in mac is to use docker.
