Description:
Hello there,
Below are complete steps for building Postgres from source in a clean docker
ubuntu container.
Maybe this is useful for your docs? I noticed the 'Chapter 17. Installation
from Source Code' doesn't discuss many common dependency issues like ICU and
Zlib.
If you would like a write up, I can contribute.
Thanks,
Sundip
