Hi,

I’m trying to compile from source but am running into a few  
difficulties.

I first installed from the package manager, which gave me 0.7.3 (and  
created user, group and what not).

0.1) Then somehow the .configure line confused the shell, so i used  
one single line instead of the lines bellow:

./configure   
–sbin-path=/usr/local/sbin/nginx   
–conf-path=/etc/nginx/nginx.conf   
–pid-path=/var/run/nginx.pid   
–lock-path=/var/lock/nginx.lock   
–error-log-path=/var/www/logs/nginxerror.log   
–http-log-path=/var/www/logs/nginxaccess.log   
–user=\_nginx   
–group=\_nginx   
–with-cpu-opt=amd64   
–http-client-body-temp-path=/var/nginx/tmp/body   
–http-proxy-temp-path=/var/nginx/tmp/proxy   
–http-fastcgi-temp-path=/var/nginx/tmp/fastcgi   
–with-debug   
–without-http\_empty\_gif\_module   
–without-http\_geo\_module   
–without-http\_map\_module   
–without-http\_memcached\_module   
–without-http\_referer\_module   
–without-http\_scgi\_module   
–without-http\_split\_clients\_module   
–without-http\_ssi\_module   
–without-http\_upstream\_ip\_hash\_module   
–without-http\_userid\_module   
–without-http\_uwsgi\_module   
–with-http\_ssl\_module \

…plus third-party modules:

Accept Language - 2010-12-29

Auto Lib - 2010-12-29

Chunkin - 0.21

Form Input - 0.06

Headers More - 0.13-12

Log Request Speed - 2010-12-29

Upload - 2.2.0

…with the appropriate --add-module=/path/to/module \ lines. The result  
being:

Hi,

Do you have pcre installed? (pkg\_info | grep ^pcre)

You need NDK module ([GitHub - vision5/ngx\_devel\_kit: Nginx Development Kit - an Nginx module that adds additional generic tools that module developers can use in their own modules · GitHub](https://github.com/simpl/ngx_devel_kit)).

You’ve broken something, nginx works just fine on OpenBSD.

# pkg\_info |grep pcre

pcre-8.02p1 perl-compatible regular expression library

Also, the line “checking for PCRE library in /usr/local/include and  
/usr/local/lib … found” shows up during .configure.

Noted, thanks.

Issuing make clean at the shell works as expected. The full error is:

cd /usr && make CFLAGS="-O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe " CC=“gcc”  
MD5\_ASM\_OBJ= clean libmd5.a  
make: don’t know how to make clean. Stop in /usr.

Stop in /root/nginx/nginx-0.9.3 (line 1041 of objs/Makefile).  
\*\*\* Error code 1

Stop in /root/nginx/nginx-0.9.3 (line 8 of Makefile).

Line 1041 of objs/Makefile is: CC=“$(CC)” MD5\_ASM\_OBJ= clean libmd5.a  
These show up during .configure:

checking for MD5 library in /usr/include and /usr/lib (from previously  
found OpenSSL) … found  
…  
adding module in /path/to/upload-module

- ngx\_http\_upload\_module was configured  
grep: /usr/md5.h: No such file or directory  
creating objs/Makefile

Configuration summary

- PCRE library is not used  
…
- using md5 library: /usr

> You’ve broken something, nginx works just fine on OpenBSD.

I didn’t say otherwise 🙂 However, i’m not interested in 0.7.3; maybe  
i’m missing packages? I have a very minimal isntall, but i assumed md5  
and friends were default in OpenBSD (assuming that’s the problem).  
There’s no md5.h in /usr, but in /usr/lib; creating a soft link has no  
effect.

Looks like you did something like

./configure --with-md5=/usr

It’s just wrong and expected to fail.

$ ./configure --help | grep md5=  
–with-md5=DIR set path to md5 library sources

Note the “sources”.

Hi,

OpenBSD-4.8 shipped with nginx-0.7.67, not nginx-0.7.3.

This is not a problem, nginx compiles just fine with only pcre  
installed.

You must have messed your ./configure options, try removing one-by-one  
(don’t forget about 3rd party modules) and see which one is the problem.

No, it wasn’t. “./configure --add-module=../nginx\_upload\_module-2.2.0”  
compiles just fine.

The problem is probably the mix of different 3rd party modules.

Neither is needed.

Hi again,

The culprit was the upload module (v2.2.0), which makes sense since  
that’s when make fails (at the very end 'cos it was the last option).

I tried adding a “clean” entry in obj/Makefile, as well as using gmake

- same results. I didn’t pass any pcre or md5 specific options in  
.configure.

nginx 0.9.3 compiled without problems with these options:

./configure   
–sbin-path=/usr/local/sbin/nginx   
–conf-path=/etc/nginx/nginx.conf   
–pid-path=/var/run/nginx.pid   
–lock-path=/var/lock/nginx.lock   
–error-log-path=/var/www/logs/nginxerror.log   
–http-log-path=/var/www/logs/nginxaccess.log   
–user=\_nginx   
–group=\_nginx   
–with-cpu-opt=amd64   
–http-client-body-temp-path=/var/nginx/tmp/body   
–http-proxy-temp-path=/var/nginx/tmp/proxy   
–http-fastcgi-temp-path=/var/nginx/tmp/fastcgi   
–with-debug --without-http\_empty\_gif\_module   
–without-http\_geo\_module   
–without-http\_map\_module   
–without-http\_memcached\_module   
–without-http\_referer\_module   
–without-http\_scgi\_module   
–without-http\_split\_clients\_module   
–without-http\_ssi\_module   
–without-http\_upstream\_ip\_hash\_module   
–without-http\_userid\_module   
–without-http\_uwsgi\_module   
–with-http\_ssl\_module   
–add-module=/path/to/auto\_lib   
–add-module=/path/to/chunkin   
–add-module=/path/to/headers\_more

Thanks for the help.  
Cheers,

Hi,

So i had this config:

–add-module=/path/to/auto\_lib   
–add-module=/path/to/chunkin   
–add-module=/path/to/headers\_more

Worked. After a few suggestions i tried this:

–add-module=/path/to/chunkin   
–add-module=/path/to/headers\_more   
–add-module=/path/to/upload   
–add-module=/path/to/auto\_lib

Worked too, only the form input module is still failing but i’m not  
worrying about that for the moment.

Thanks,  
Nuno
