How to tell ngnix where is my libevent?

since i build libevent myself, and install it to my home/install dir,
i have checked auto/configure --help to find options related to libevent
dir, but not find it,

i have also tried to tell nginx the path of libevent using
./auto/configure CFLAGS=“-I/home/bigmeow/install/include”
./auto/configure: error: invalid option
“CFLAGS=-I/home/bigmeow/install/include”
also failed.

so is there any method to tell ngnix where is my libevent?

You don’t need libevent for nginx.

And just for record, to pass additional options to compiler and
linker you may use --with-cc-opt and --with-ld-opt configure
arguments, see Installing nginx.
