Hello,

I’m compiling Nginx-0.6.38 + mod\_wsgi.  
I encountered 2 error, and I can’t solve the second one.

The versions of my software:

- Fedora 11
- Nginx 0.6.38
- mod\_wsgi (tip version, mod\_wsgi-8994b058d2db)
- GCC 4.4.1
- Python 2.6

In the middle of my compilation. I first encountered this error:

cc1: warnings being treated as errors

> …/mod\_wsgi/src/ngx\_http\_wsgi\_handler.c: In function  
> ‘ngx\_http\_wsgi\_handler’:  
> …/mod\_wsgi/src/ngx\_http\_wsgi\_handler.c:74: error: implicit declaration of  
> function ‘ngx\_http\_discard\_body’  
> make[1]: \*\*\* [objs/addon/src/ngx\_http\_wsgi\_handler.o] Error 1  
> make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/nginx-0.6.38’  
> make: \*\*\* [build] Error 2

After some Googling, I solved it by changing the line 74 into this:

rc = ngx\_http\_discard\_request\_body®; // rc =  
ngx\_http\_discard\_body®;

> 

And this is solved.

However, I encountered a secound error:

cc1: warnings being treated as errors

> …/mod\_wsgi/src/ngx\_wsgi.c:1250: error: (near initialization for  
> ‘Queue\_Type.tp\_version\_tag’)  
> …/mod\_wsgi/src/ngx\_wsgi.c:1407: error: missing initializer  
> …/mod\_wsgi/src/ngx\_wsgi.c:1407: error: (near initialization for  
> ‘Connection\_Type.tp\_version\_tag’)  
> make[1]: \*\*\* [objs/addon/src/ngx\_wsgi.o] Error 1  
> make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/nginx-0.6.38’  
> make: \*\*\* [build] Error 2

Which, I found no solution with Google.  
Any suggestion? Please help.

They introduced tp\_version\_tag in Python 2.6 so I guess the following  
patch  
should work
