I'm new to postresql development. I cloned the project from git and tried
to build it. When I tried to run it using gmake, it gave me an error saying

please tell me where I got it wrong.

Hm, did you run "configure" first? I'm also wondering whether you could
be using an old version of gmake. See

I installed cygwin and ran ./configure on it. It says cannot run /bin/sh
config/config.sub
I was already following that link.
