This library contains a single PostgreSQL extension, a data type called
cbor. It's an implementation of the Concise Binary Object Representation
specified by RFC 7049.
To build it, just do this:
make
make install
make installcheck
If you encounter an error such as:
"Makefile", line 8: Need an operator
You need to use GNU make, which may well be installed on your system as
gmake:
gmake
gmake install
gmake installcheck
If you encounter an error such as:
make: pg_config: Command not found
Be sure that you have pg_config installed and in your path. If you used a
package management system such as RPM to install PostgreSQL, be sure that the
-devel package is also installed. If necessary tell the build process where
to find it:
env PG_CONFIG=/path/to/pg_config make && make installcheck && make install
If you encounter an error such as:
ERROR: must be owner of database regression
You need to run the test suite using a super user, such as the default "postgres" super user:
make installcheck PGUSER=postgres
Once cbor is installed, you can add it to a database. If you're running PostgreSQL 9.1.0 or greater, it's a simple as connecting to a database as a super user and running:
CREATE EXTENSION cbor;
The cbor data type has no dependencies other than PostgreSQL.
