I'm trying to stream data automatically from PostgreSQL 10 to Kafka using debezium together with the logical decoding plugin, wal2json.
I followed all the instructions on how to build and install the plugin from this link by running these command lines:
$ git clone https://github.com/eulerto/wal2json.git
$ cd wal2json
$ PATH=/usr/lib/postgresql/10/bin:$PATH
$ USE_PGXS=1 make
$ USE_PGXS=1 sudo make install
Yet, the steps for installation include this command line: USE_PGXS=1 make and it requires the installation of this package
sudo apt-get install postgresql-server-dev-10
else, I get the following error
Makefile:10: /usr/lib/postgresql/11/lib/pgxs/src/makefiles/pgxs.mk: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target '/usr/lib/postgresql/11/lib/pgxs/src/makefiles/pgxs.mk'. Stop.
In fact, I am not allowed to install the package postgresql-server-dev-10 for personal reasons.
Thus, is there any way to install wal2json without installing that package or without using the command make?
Thank you.
