Hi, I’m trying to compile nginx from source but despite providing ./configure with --with-ld-opt I can’t seem to see it. This is the complete command I’m trying to use. ./configure --prefix=/opt/nginx-1.9.9/conf –sbin-path=/opt/nginx-1.9.9/sbin/nginx –conf-path=/opt/nginx-1.9.9/conf/nginx.conf –pid-path=/opt/nginx-1.9.9/nginx.pid --loc k-path=/opt/nginx-1.9.9/nginx.lock –error-log-path=/opt/nginx-1.9.9/logs/error.log –http-log-path=/opt/nginx-1.9.9/logs/access.log –http-client-body-temp-path=/opt/nginx- 1.9.9/lib/body –http-fastcgi-temp-path=/opt/nginx-1.9.9/lib/fastcgi –http-proxy-temp-path=/opt/nginx-1.9.9/lib/proxy –http-scgi-temp-path=/opt/nginx-1.9.9/lib/scgi --http -uwsgi-temp-path=/opt/nginx-1.9.9/lib/uwsgi --user=www-data –group=www-data –with-debug --with-http\_v2\_module --with-http\_gzip\_static\_module –with-http\_addition\_module – with-http\_dav\_module –with-http\_realip\_module --with-http\_stub\_status\_module –with-http\_sub\_module --with-ipv6 --with-mail --with-mail\_ssl\_module –with-http\_ssl\_module – with-openssl=/opt/src/nginx/openssl-1\_0\_1g –with-sha1=/opt/src/nginx/openssl-1\_0\_1g –with-md5=/opt/src/nginx/openssl-1\_0\_1g --with-http\_xslt\_module –with-pcre=/opt/src/ng inx/pcre-8.32 --with-pcre-jit –with-zlib=/opt/src/nginx/zlib-1.2.8 –with-ld-opt=“-I/opt/src/nginx/libxml-2.9.3 -I/opt/src/nginx/xslt-1.1.28” ~Thanks Posted at Nginx Forum: > **[compiling nginx from sources and including xslt sources](https://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,264346,264346#msg-264346)** > > Hi, I'm trying to compile nginx from source but despite providing ./configure with --with-ld-opt I can't seem to see it.

If you want to set include paths, consider using --with-cc-opt instead. – Maxim D. > **[nginx](http://nginx.org/)** ---

I’m still getting: (…) checking for libxslt … not found checking for libxslt in /usr/local/ … not found checking for libxslt in /usr/pkg/ … not found checking for libxslt in /opt/local/ … not found ./configure: error: the HTTP XSLT module requires the libxml2/libxslt libraries. You can either do not enable the module or install the libraries.

Oh ok I’m dumb. 😛 Can I somehow specify those library paths to? I really would like to avoid compiling them into directory structure of my current system.

You can either do not enable the module or install the libraries. That’s because there are no libxml2/libxslt libraries available via the paths you’ve specified. Note that you need libraries to be built and installed, just a source code won’t work - nginx doesn’t know how to compile libxml2/libxslt for you. – Maxim D. > **[nginx](http://nginx.org/)** ---

I really would like to avoid > compiling them into directory structure of my current system. Refer to the library docs to find out how to compile them and install to some private location. Usually the relevant configure option is “–prefix”. Then use appropriate compiler and linker options to provide paths to include files and libraries during nginx compilation. – Maxim D. > **[nginx](http://nginx.org/)**
