Hello,
I encountered a minor road bump when checking out the pg source today. The Makefile's all target includes the following help message if GNUmakefile isn't available:
echo "You need to run the 'configure' program first. See the file"; \
echo "'INSTALL' for installation instructions." ; \
After consulting README.git, it looks as though INSTALL isn't created unless the source is bundled into a release or snapshot tarball. I'm happy to submit a patch to update the wording, but wanted to check on the preferred approach.
Perhaps this would be sufficient?
echo "You need to run the 'configure' program first. See the file"; \
echo "'INSTALL' for installation instructions, or visit" ; \
echo "<https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/installation.html>" ; \

I noticed a similar thing in the README of the github repository. It asks to see the INSTALL file for build and installation instructions but I couldn't find that file and that confused me. This might confuse other new developers as well. So, maybe we should update the text in the README too?
Regards,
Samay
