Tom Lane b86515da1a Give a useful error message if uuid-ossp is built without preconfiguration. Before commit `b8cc8f947`, it was possible to build contrib/uuid-ossp without having told configure you meant to; you could just cd into that directory and "make". That no longer works because the code depends on configure to have done header and library probes, but the ensuing error messages are not so easy to interpret if you're not an old C hand. We've gotten a couple of complaints recently from people trying to do this the low-tech way, so add an explicit #error directing the user to use --with-uuid. (In principle we might want to do something similar in the other optionally-built contrib modules; but I don't think any of the others have ever worked without preconfiguration, so there are no bad habits to break people of.) Back-patch to 9.4 where the previous commit came in.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	http://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
