To judge from the RPM examples, you'd probably need special actions
anyway. The RPMs need to change the installed path. I have these
steps in the Fedora/Red Hat specfile:
# Have to hack makefile to put correct path into tutorial scripts
sed "s|C=\`pwd\`;|C=%{_libdir}/pgsql/tutorial;|" < src/tutorial/Makefile > src/tutorial/GNUmakefile
make %{?_smp_mflags} -C src/tutorial NO_PGXS=1 all
rm -f src/tutorial/GNUmakefile
install -d -m 755 $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_libdir}/pgsql/tutorial
cp src/tutorial/* $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_libdir}/pgsql/tutorial
It looks to me like the unmodified Makefile builds the .sql files
on the assumption they will be used *in the source tree*. So basically
no installer could use that as-is anyway.
