There is also the section in the docs for how to install a postgres instance
for source which will be handy:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/installation.html
For an environment to hack in I would recommend enabling debig and TAP style
tests, and personally I always install to a specific folder (see the section on
developer options):
./configure --enable-debug --enable-tap-tests --prefix=path/to/dev/install
Hi again, thank you both for the guidance. I will start reading and setting things up in the next few days
Feel free to reach out here if you get stuck on anything, so we can make the
Wiki page better.
sure
