Description

When trying to build on ubuntu, I got a linker error:

  = note: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpq
          collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

I was able to fix it by creating symlink:

➜  replication-game-server git:(porcuquine) ✗ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpq.so.5 /usr/lib/libpq.so

Maybe this should be documented. Even better, it should be possible to build and run the client without installing Postgres or any of the server dependencies.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the build system to make the client build optional for PostgreSQL dependency. Consider using feature flags or conditional compilation to exclude server dependencies when building the client only.
