Currently, it is impossible for NGINX external modules to be packaged
on their own, separately from the NGINX ebuild. The nginx-module.eclass
enables packaging third party NGINX modules as any other software in the
Gentoo tree.
The eclass builds on the foundation provided by nginx.eclass.
NGINX modules are somewhat special in the way they are built. In
addition to (obviously) requiring NGINX headers, their build system is
the one of NGINX. Actually, they are intended to be built and installed
alongside the NGINX server, but, luckily, it is possible to succesfuly
build a module, given (1) the headers, (2) the build system and the
exact same (3) ./configure flags that have been used to configure NGINX
itself are present. The points (1) and (2) are taken for granted here,
as nginx.eclass takes care of them:
* headers are installed into /usr/include/nginx
* build system is installed into /usr/src/nginx
As for the (3) point, the configuration flags are recorder into
ngx_auto_config.h file as preprocessor #define's. The file is also saved
into /usr/include/nginx.
The build process undergoes in the ${WORKDIR}/nginx directory, which
has 3 symlinks:
* src/ -> /usr/include/nginx
* configure -> /usr/src/nginx/configure
* auto/ -> /usr/src/nginx/auto
The build is the exact same as building a module "in-tree": the
./configure script is called with the '--add-dynamic-module' flag. The
rest of the eclass is really simple; src_compile() executes 'make
modules' and src_install() installs the compiled shared objects into
/usr/$(get_libdir)/nginx/modules.

modules
+# @DESCRIPTION:
+# The nginx-module.eclass automates configuring, building and installing
NGINX's
+# dynamic modules. Using this eclass is as simple as calling 'inherit
nginx-module'.
+#
+# This eclass automatically adds dependency on NGINX. If the part of the
+# module's functionality depends on the NGINX configuration (e.g.
+# HMAC generation support depending on http_ssl module being enabled), the
+# corresponding code should be rewritten so that the functionality in question
+# (1) is unconditionally enabled/disabled or (2) could be toggled by a USE
flag.
+#
+# If the module makes use of the ngx_devel_kit (NDK), it must make sure to
+# add that to the relevant *DEPEND variables and to call "append-cflags -DNDK",
+# since (obviously) the NDK is not built alongside the module.

+# @DESCRIPTION:
+# Call ./configure, passing the supplied arguments.
+# The NGINX's build system consists of many helper scripts, which are executed
+# relative to the working directory. Therefore, the function only supports
+# executing the configure script from the current working directory. This
+# function also checks whether the script is executable. If any of the above
+# conditions are not satisfied, the function aborts the build process with
+# 'die'. It also fails if the script itself exits with a non-zero exit code,
+# unless the function is called with 'nonfatal'.
+# If running ./configure is required, this is the way it should be done.
