postgresql12 - pg_config missing

[jaegere57]

Hello, I am new to Tiny Core and am working on a project that uses the postgresq12.tcz extension. The end goal is to have TimescaleDB installed onto my TC (5.4.3-tinycore) as well.

At the moment, though, I am unable to build TimescaleDB on TC due to it being unable to find a postgres client application "pg_config" (documentation here: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/app-pgconfig.html). When I try to build TimescaleDB, this is my feedback:

Code: (bash) [Select]

$ sudo ./bootstrap

Build system already initialized in ./build
Do you want to remove it (this is IMMEDIATE and PERMANENT), y/n? y

After a thorough search, sure enough, there was no "pg_config" to be found in my directories.

Did I possibly make a mistake when I installed postgresql12.tcz and that's why pg_config cannot be found? Or, if it isn't included in the extension, how would one go about creating/replicating it?

Hi jaegere57
Welcome to the forum.

If you look in  postgresql-12-dev.tcz  you will find it contains  /usr/local/pgsql12/bin/pg_config.

That makes sense. Thanks for the help Rich!
