ads' corner

For a long time I was using a Makefile to quickly build, start, stop and then wipe a predefined PostgreSQL version. That comes handy if you just want to test something on an older version, without actually installing the software. Everything happens in a single directory, even a different port is assigned.

When I needed that setup recently, I ran into unrelated build errors:

relpath.c:21:10: fatal error: catalog/pg_tablespace_d.h: No such file or directory
 #include "catalog/pg_tablespace_d.h"
          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.

Can't be - pg_tablespace_d.h is included in the tarball I'm using.
