If only it were that simple for the non-developer like myself.
Unfortunately, the build environment regularly gets broken by other
commits during development, and which cause breakage on OSX at least (I
can not speak for Windows as I have no intention of going that way).
Until those breakages get fixed by someone who does give a damn about
extensions on OSX, then no connector gets built. Unfortunate, but true.
I've given up worrying about it now, and am focussing on working with
postgres.
