The following documentation comment has been logged on the website: Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/16/install-make.html Description: Hello, I Hope you've enjoyed a festive period. Thanks for all your hard work, postgres is amazing. Small suggestion for installation instructions on debian / ubuntu boxes: apt install -yqq build-essential libreadline-dev zlib1g-dev flex bison libxml2-dev libxslt-dev libssl-dev libxml2-utils xsltproc ccache git libicu-dev pkg-config works, what is listed misses git, libicu-dev and pkg-config git may be optional for those downloading from a tarball, but something to untar would then be required, as would gzip most-likely. Even with the above, make world and make world-bin and make check, do not succeed on arm64, so I've no idea if the build is reporting success, but silently failing (I get return code zero, so it should pass a compile in CI) For testing this, I use docker as it's fast-enough to burn down the world and check my instructions work (see below): ---- Compiling postgres 16 docker run --rm -it ubuntu:22.04 Or docker run --rm -it debian Then within container install system-build-dependencies apt update -yqq apt install -yqq build-essential libreadline-dev zlib1g-dev flex bison libxml2-dev libxslt-dev libssl-dev libxml2-utils xsltproc ccache git libicu-dev pkg-config Now time to clone Postgres git clone https://github.com/postgres/postgres.git cd postgres git checkout REL_16_1 git checkout -b release/16.1 Now we can build Postgres ./configure make -j4

We aren't very interested in trying to add such lists, precisely because they'd be constantly out of date. You might have found the above list somewhere else, but in that case you should be reporting the omissions somewhere else than here. > Even with the above, make world and make world-bin and make check, do not > succeed on arm64, so I've no idea if the build is reporting success, but > silently failing (I get return code zero, so it should pass a compile in > CI) Can't help you on that when you provide no details. PG certainly does work for many other people on Debian+arm64. regards, tom lane
