However, these files are +not stored in git and so will not be present if you are using a git checkout. +If you are using git, you can view the most recent install instructions at: + http://developer.postgresql.org/docs/postgres/installation.html +and the current release notes at: + http://developer.postgresql.org/docs/postgres/release.html + +Users compiling from git will also need compatible versions of Bison, Flex, +and Perl, as discussed in the install documentation. These programs are not +needed when using a tarball, since the files they are needed to build are +already present in the tarball. (On Windows, however, you need Perl anyway.) |
