Linux – How to set default unix_socket_location when compiling PostgreSQL

linuxpostgresql

I want to compile PostgreSQL and need to set a default for unix_socket_location. It should be /var/run/postgresql instead of /tmp like in the default build configuration.

In fact I just want to set a default for the unix_socket_location parameter, but I don't get where to set it. It is no ./configure option, and I don't know where to look anymore, althought the docs say it can be changed during build time.

Where do I set a default for unix_socket_location?

Edit src/include/pg_config_manual.h, change DEFAULT_PGSOCKET_DIR, (re-)build.
