Building DuckPGQ

Installation instructions from source

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/cwida/duckpgq-extension.git

Note that using --recurse-submodules will ensure that the correct version of DuckDB is pulled, allowing you to get started.

To build the extension, run the following command:

make release

For debug build:

make debug

Or, if you have Ninja installed:

make <debug> GEN=ninja

The main binaries that will be built are:

./build/<build mode>/duckdb
./build/<build mode>/test/unittest
./build/<build mode>/extension/duckpgq/duckpgq.duckdb_extension

duckdbis the binary for the DuckDB shell with the extension code automatically loaded.
unittestis the test runner of DuckDB. Again, the extension is already linked into the binary.
duckpgq.duckdb_extensionis the loadable binary as it would be distributed.

Start the shell by executing ./build/<build mode>/duckdb to run the extension code.
