I've noted that upgrading from PostgreSQL 9.3 to 9.5 I'm suddenly unable to specify a "check" rule in the Makefile that includes the PGXS one. The error is:
$ make check rm -rf ''/tmp_install make -C '/home/postgresql-9.5/lib/pgxs/src/makefiles/../..' DESTDIR=''/tmp_install install make[1]: Entering directory `/home/postgresql-9.5/lib/pgxs' make[1]: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop. make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/postgresql-9.5/lib/pgxs' make: *** [temp-install] Error 2 I tracked the dangerous -rf to come from Makefile.global and it's empty string being due to abs_top_builddir not being define in my own Makefile. But beside that, which I can probably fix, it doesn't sound correct that a "check" rule insists in finding an "install" rule. I'm also surprised that there's no warning coming out from the "make" invocation given I'm defining a "check" rule myself (after inclusion).
