dblink and postgres_fdw use SHLIB_PREREQS = submake-libpq to build libpq first. This doesn't work in a PGXS build, because there is no libpq to build. So just omit setting SHLIB_PREREQS in this case. Note that PGXS users can still use SHLIB_PREREQS (although it is not documented). The problem here is only that contrib modules can be built in-tree or using PGXS, and the prerequisite is only applicable in the former case. Commit 6697aa2bc25c83b88d6165340348a31328c35de6 previously attempted to address this by creating a somewhat fake submake-libpq target in Makefile.global. That was not the right fix, and it was also done in a nonportable way, so revert that.
The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------
This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their
usefulness.
User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.
When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.
Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database,
you can simply do
CREATE EXTENSION module_name;
See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
