Getting started notes and trouble running the tests

Hi,
I'm trying to check out the Postgres sources to get started contributing. The first step was trying to run the tests. 

On Mac, I get this error when I run "./configure" and then "gmake check":

[Output omitted]
sh: line 1: 51711 Abort trap: 6           "psql" -X postgres < /dev/null 2> /dev/null
sh: line 1: 51714 Abort trap: 6           "psql" -X postgres < /dev/null 2> /dev/null
sh: line 1: 51717 Abort trap: 6           "psql" -X postgres < /dev/null 2> /dev/null
sh: line 1: 51721 Abort trap: 6           "psql" -X postgres < /dev/null 2> /dev/null
pg_regress: postmaster did not respond within 60 seconds
Examine /Users/kevin/src/github.com/postgres/postgres/src/test/regress/log/postmaster.log for the reason
gmake[1]: *** [GNUmakefile:132: check] Error 2
gmake[1]: Leaving directory '/Users/kevin/src/github.com/postgres/postgres/src/test/regress'
gmake: *** [GNUmakefile:69: check] Error 2

I'm confused because the logs indicate that the database started.

Perhaps the issue is that psql is looking in the wrong place? I ensured that there's no psql in my $PATH before running "gmake check", but if I install it, it looks for a socket in /tmp, not /var/folders.

Some other notes:

For fun I tried seeing if I could use mesalink - github.com/mesalock-linux/mesalink - as a drop in replacement for OpenSSL. I need to specify two "includes" folders and it was unclear how to do this from the configure --help output - commas? colons? Specify the flag multiple times? The answer ended up being colons but this could be more obvious.

Is there a way to run just the tests for a particular part of the code? The docs on running the tests weren't clear, and starting "gmake check" seems slow in the best case. In my case I'd like to run just the tests related to OpenSSL, and src/backend/libpq/be-secure.c.

Yeah, this is a known issue with Apple's SIP (System Integrity Protection)
breaking our use of DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH to point the executables at the
as-yet-uninstalled libraries.  The two known workarounds are
(1) do "make install" before "make check";
(2) turn off SIP.
We've made occasional efforts to develop a less fragile solution.
If you're interested in helping with the latest such effort, see

The core regression tests aren't subdivided, but on the other hand
they only take a few seconds on any modern hardware (hint: use the
parallelized make targets).  There are a lot of other test suites
scattered around the tree, and those can be run individually.
In your case I'd venture that "make check" in src/test/ssl/ might
cover most of what you care about (but see the README there for
caveats --- it transiently opens ports).  Also, for repeated test runs,
using "make install" and then "make installcheck" can save time.
