If you absolutely must use the pg_basebackup as your source and I'm assuming you have a tarball without any of WAL files, you could expand the tarball into you data directory, and use pg_resetxlog to "fool" the master into starting up. I only say "fool" as it just builds you a blank WAL file which this system can use as its integrity check and properly start.

Hi,
What is the proper way start a new master from a basebackup when you do not have the WAL-files?
We are using postgresql 9.4.
