如何在Windows（或CentOS7）上构建pgloader？

Question

I need to convert some MySQL databases to Postgresql.

I came across the pgloader script, which promises to be the best solution, but coming from a Windows environment I have no idea how to build it. My server has CentOS7, but I have never compiled anything myself on it, other than with yum . I just don't know where to start or even how to run the bootstrap-centos7.sh script, which is mentioned in the readme-file.

Did anyone ever compile pgloader on Windows or can provide some clear steps how to build this program on CentOS7 ?

Answer 1

perhaps you already installed this, but for other people it should be easy:

sudo yum install -y git
git clone https://github.com/dimitri/pgloader.git
cd pgloader
chmod +x ./bootstrap-centos7.sh
sudo ./bootstrap-centos7.sh
make pgloader

after make you can check if pgloader is working by exexuting command ./build/bin/pgloader --help (from pgloader directory)

Answer 2

In reference to bilak's answer I have tested his solution and saw some errors and it it still not functional yet.

Following changes needed to be done from my side:

1. sudo 'yum install -y git' instead of sudo yum install -y git
2. for the clone step I had to use git:// instead of https://

The other things are the same for me. But as soon as I want to execute the ./bootstrap-centos7.sh I am getting a bunch of error for unavailable servers and stuff.

I will create an issue on this via Github and keep this answer updated...
