Up to now, our distribution tarballs have included a plain-text form of the installation.sgml chapter. The rationale for that was that a recipient might not have either ready internet access or HTML-viewing tools; a theory that seems downright quaint today. Maintaining the ability to generate this file is not without cost, because it puts special requirements on installation.sgml that are often overlooked. Moreover, we are moving in the direction of making our distribution tarballs be pure git snapshots for traceability/reproducibility reasons; including generated files doesn't fit into that plan. Hence, let's just drop INSTALL and remove the infrastructure for generating it. The top-level README will now recommend visiting our website to see the installation instructions. As a useful side-effect, we can get rid of README.git which has provoked confusion.

# The PostgreSQL make files exploit features of GNU make that other
|
|
# makes do not have. Because it is a common mistake for users to try
|
|
# to build Postgres with a different make, we have this make file
|
|
# that, as a service, will look for a GNU make and invoke it, or show
|
|
# an error message if none could be found.
|
|
|
|
# If the user were using GNU make now, this file would not get used
|
|
# because GNU make uses a make file named "GNUmakefile" in preference
|
|
# to "Makefile" if it exists. PostgreSQL is shipped with a
|
|
# "GNUmakefile". If the user hasn't run the configure script yet, the
|
|
# GNUmakefile won't exist yet, so we catch that case as well.
|
|
|
|
|
|
# AIX make defaults to building *every* target of the first rule. Start with
|
|
# a single-target, empty rule to make the other targets non-default.
