<builtin>: recipe for target 'versioning.o' failed

[NiraliSupe]

Postgres version: 11

I tried both ways to install the temporal tables:

$ git clone https://github.com/arkhipov/temporal_tables
$ cd temporal_tables
$ make
$ make installcheck
$ make install

and

pgxn install temporal_tables

But I am getting following error:

Could you please help with this?

I guess it needs some work to make it compatible with PostgreSQL 11. I will check it this weekend.

I've also received the same compilation errors when building temporal_tables 1.2.0 for Postgres 11. Perhaps the data structures changed slightly?

This is holding the update to postgresql 11 in Homebrew: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/33131 What is the current status?

PG 11 is now released. When do you think, you can update the code to be compatible with PG 11 ?

Thx

Thx @mlt for the patch.

@arkhipov : are you still active on this project ?
