make tutorial 13.2
The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:
Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/13/tutorial-sql-intro.html
Description:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/13/tutorial-sql-intro.html
This page tells how to make tutorial files:
$ cd .../src/tutorial
$ make
I have a binary distribution version 13.2, installed from the Postgres yum
repository, on Fedora 33.
So, I downloaded the source code from here:
https://www.postgresql.org/ftp/source/v13.2/
And tried to build according to the instruction:
[max@max-home tutorial]$ make
make: pg_config: No such file or directory
make: *** No targets. Stop.
Makefile says the following:
# By default, this builds against an existing PostgreSQL installation
# (the one identified by whichever pg_config is first in your path).
# Within a configured source tree, you can say "make NO_PGXS=1 all"
# to build using the surrounding source tree.
So, in my case the following succeeded:
$ cd ...
$ ./configure
$ cd .../src/tutorial
$ make NO_PGXS=1 all
So, the documentation should tell how to build this tutorial in case of
binary distribution.

Apparently, you didn't install whichever sub-package of the Postgres
distribution contains pg_config. Might be postgresql-devel, or
postgresql-dev in Debian-flavored distros. The PG project documentation
can't cover this; it's the responsibility of each group of packagers to
decide (and document) how their distributions are laid out.

Building the source tree does not require postgresql13-devel. This is,
of course, because the source tree has all development files. I have
installed development libraries needed for building. I enter these
commands -
./configure
make
- and they just work.
But using "make" in the tutorial subdirectory does not work in my case.
And this behavior is documented in Makefile.
I think the issue is not distribution-specific.

Why? This adds complexity that is relatively easy to get rid of.
There already exist the pages for RHEL/CentOS, Ubuntu, etc. with code
snippets
https://www.postgresql.org/download/ -- having something like that in the
docs would be great.

What you're proposing adds complexity that is impossible to get rid of.

Those pages merely point to various package sets, they don't attempt to
track details of how the package sets are laid out. If we tried to
include such info in our core docs, it would inevitably soon be out of
date, because there'd be no mechanism for keeping it up to date with
packagers' decisions. Not to mention the confusion factor from people
reading something about package set A and supposing that it applies to
package set B as well.
(As an example, the info on
https://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/redhat/
describes the packages Devrim builds; it probably isn't very accurate
for the postgresql packages that Red Hat themselves ship.)
