pgxc_ctl overview

Preparing pgxc_ctl

This section describes how to build and install pgxc>ctl.

First, you need to configure the build options as follows:

cd $PGCXSRC
./configure (your configuration options)

If you've done this to build Postgres-XC binaries, you don't have to do it again.

Then, build and install pgxc_ctl as follows:

cd $PGXCSRC
make
make install

Simple enough!
