I noticed many of things you described and im i doubt there is any clean way to get it working. It looked like simple task get tar ball of postgres & postgis and make it work. (was even able to configure and make postgis but was installation dependant) I made it run instance just overloading some param -L while executing initdb - on extracted binaries on clean ubuntu - not 100% all was working fine but where able to add extension and populate data.
It's sad that you can apt-get all of this in like 5steps, but there is no way to make it work form one binary (not installed) folder - there are ready to use docker container db with spatial but it's another dependency to project (and just for tests it's an overkill) Or maybe someone prove me wrong, anyone - please :) czw., 15 lis 2018 o 20:54 Regina Obe <[email protected]> napisał(a): > I think we can make it a bit easier on them and also easier on people who > just want the commandline tools > > > > 1) Right now you can't compile the commandlines without having > postgres installed unless you hack the make scripts > > 2) It has come to my attention that raster2pgsql has a dependency on > libpq.
