Hi folks,
In Clear Linux OS, we generally prefer to build DSO modules separately from the server code. We do this for e.g. php modules using `phpize`. For nginx, this is 3/4 of the way there, except it fails on the last part - modules instructions clearly indicate that modules, with all their dependencies, need to build together. But in reality, there is no technical reason for this. For Clear Linux therefore, I've come up with the following approach and it works really well, and therefore I'd like this to be considered as a PoC for possible inclusion/consideration so other distributions can benefit from the simplicity that it offers to Linux distributions. https://github.com/clearlinux-pkgs/nginx-mainline/blob/master/0003-Add-nginx-module-build-install-script.patch Now, this script is mostly still a terrible hack. I'm not properly fetching the nginx module names for instance. However, the method of installing header files saves us from having to include nginx source code in *every* nginx module, which will prevent lots of problems later on. Obviously a permanent solution would be for the module build system to properly -I/usr/include/nginx instead of copying headers, as well. Cheers, Auke PS: Example of how an (automated) module build looks using this: https://github.com/clearlinux-pkgs/ngx_brotli/blob/master/ngx_brotli.spec _______________________________________________ nginx-devel mailing list nginx-devel@nginx.org http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx-devel
