Hello,  
Following instructions given on NGINX site, I could compile NGINX  
default  
source code for WIndows using MSYS bash and nmake. However, when I tried  
compiling HttpEchoModule and HttpAuthDigest module, I have started  
getting  
compilation errors. I am assuming that since these modules are published  
and  
stable, they are compiling on LINUX/UNIX.  
Can someone suggest me the typical changes I need to do in a NGINX  
module  
source/configuration file so as to make it working on Windows?

Best Regards,  
ParagS.

Well, typical steps usually involve fixing the reported compilation  
errors. 🙂
