Hello, I attempted to compile nginx-1.0.15 with zlib-1.2.6 on a Solaris 11 platform and received the following error. gmake . . . cd …/zlib-1.2.6 && gmake distclean && CFLAGS="-O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe " CC=“gcc” ./configure && gmake libz.a gmake[2]: Entering directory `/home/produser/Downloads/zlib-1.2.6' make -f Makefile.in distclean make: Fatal error in reader: Makefile.in, line 57: Unexpected end of line seen Current working directory /home/produser/Downloads/zlib-1.2.6 gmake[2]: *** [distclean] Error 1 gmake[2]: Leaving directory`/home/produser/Downloads/zlib-1.2.6’ gmake[1]: \*\*\* […/zlib-1.2.6/libz.a] Error 2 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/home/produser/Downloads/nginx-1.0.15’ gmake: \*\*\* [build] Error 2 Pleae advise what I should do. There were many many bug fixes and enhancements to zlib 1.2.6 over the 1.2.5 and would like to know if its going to work or not. Tank you, Allan ---

I doubt you will be able to build static library on solaris 10 or 11. Try to build or install new dynamic zlib 1.2.6 and run nginx with LD\_PRELOAD hack: LD\_PRELOAD=/path/to/new/libz.so nginx ---

The problem is in zlib 1.2.6 Makefile / Makefile.in, see my reply. Maxim D. ---

The zlib-1.2.6’s Makefile.in now can’t be parsed by Solaris’s make, but shipped Makefile calls “make” as a hardcoded command for distclean target. You may try the following patch (against zlib-1.2.6) to see if it helps (and report the problem to zlib folks): — Makefile.orig Tue Apr 17 20:39:34 2012 +++ Makefile Tue Apr 17 20:39:48 2012 @@ -2,4 +2,4 @@ -@echo “Please use ./configure first. Thank you.” distclean: - ``` make -f Makefile.in distclean ``` - ``` ${MAKE} -f Makefile.in distclean ``` If you want to just compile nginx, the fix should be as trivial as running ./configure in zlib’s directory once.
