Openssl depencies for nginx

Server NGINX
1

Hi,

I’ve noticed that once ‘–with-openssl’ is specified as parameter to
‘./configure’ it takes ages to build nginx (which is depending on
openssl build really, not nginx). However there’s a little
changerequest on how nginx could install the openssl depency: openssl
does provide a make install_sw command which does not install all
that man-stuff which isn’t needed anyway.

for the record - from an already compiled version:
lb01# time make install_sw
[…]
real 0m3.073s
user 0m0.252s
sys 0m1.924s
lb01# time make install
[…]
real 1m30.423s
user 0m26.846s
sys 1m0.440s
lb01#

Regards,
Chris

Yep, I’ve looked into install_sw a while ago, it looks much faster.
Unfortunately, “install_sw” target isn’t available in OpenSSL
0.9.7 (which is the minimum OpenSSL version as supported by nginx
now).
