Dependencies

Am I correct in my understanding that nginx depends on libevent? Where
can I find a complete list of dependencies when building from source?

Thanks.

Hi,

I don’t know if that can help, but in the Debian package in the “build
dependencies” there is only : autotools-dev, libpcre3-dev, zlib1g-dev,
libssl-dev.

No.

nginx can be built without any external library.
nginx may use zlib (gzip), PCRE (regexes), and md5 (cache), however, you
disable these features.
Also, nginx may use OpenSSL, libxslt, libperl, libGD, GeoIP, and Google
perftools.

I do not know why Debian uses autotools-dev, since all these libraries
has their own autotools.
