Hello everyone, I’m new to using SVN and what I want to achieve is: custom compiled nginx web server with http push module on windows using either mingw, cygwin or Visual Studio compilers. The problem lies in 2 things: 1. after I checked out the svn, it downloaded almost 2 gigabytes of data and I don’t know how to compile it since in trunk directory there are no configure scripts i could run 2. after downloading linux version of nginx from [nginx.org](http://nginx.org) and unpacking it, i tried to configure it but i get error on “checking int size” but if i run the configuration script with parameters the windows version of nginx from site was compiled with, configuration script finishes without problem but then i cannot “make” the source “no rule to make target src/os/win32/ngx\_win32\_config.h…” In this thread [Re: compile nginx for windows](http://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,192475,192511) the author of nginx mentions, that there are sources for window on svn so i’ve started to going that way but like i’ve said i don’t know how to configure it since there are no configuration scripts there. Please help me. I’m struggling with this for some time now and I don’t know what else I could do.

You may run as ./auto/configure. Note there are also other minor layout differences from release tarballs (e.g. building manpage will fail). > 1. after downloading linux version of nginx from [nginx.org](http://nginx.org) and unpacking > it, i tried to configure it but i get error on “checking int size” but > if i run the configuration script with parameters the windows version of > nginx from site was compiled with, configuration script finishes without > problem but then i cannot “make” the source “no rule to make target > src/os/win32/ngx\_win32\_config.h…” There are no win32-related files in release tarballs. > In this thread [http://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,192475,192511](http://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,192475,192511) the > author of nginx mentions, that there are sources for window on svn so > i’ve started to going that way but like i’ve said i don’t know how to > configure it since there are no configuration scripts there. > > Please help me.

Right now the only person who knows how to correctly compile native nginx for Windows is Igor, and in the message you’ve referenced he clearly states that he isn’t going to support building procedure. I was able to compile nginx binary using a combination of MSYS environment from MinGW and Visual C compiler, with something like this: ./auto/configure --with-cc=“cl” --without-http\_rewrite\_module –without-http\_gzip\_module nmake No idea how it works though. Attached patch shuts up some warnings as shown by msvc. Maxim D. ---

Thanks for fast reply. I was able to start making windows executable under linux host. I’ve downloaded original nginx and then checked with “-V” option configure parameters. In the end I had to do some changes to the Makefile generated by configure script which i’ve copied from linux tarball. In the end, make crashed after making man pages. If i remember correctly it was on openssl or other thing i couldn’t fix. If only Igor could produce his packages with http\_push module compiled in… Posted at Nginx Forum: > **[Re: problem compiling nginx from svn source with http\_push\_module on windows](https://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,212047,212224#msg-212224)** > > Hello everyone, I'm new to using SVN and what I want to achieve is: custom compiled nginx web server with http push module on windows using either mingw, cygwin or Visual Studio compilers.

Sorry for posting on this old thread but I am really hoping that someone was able to get nginx and http\_push\_module compiled and running on Windows. If you did please let me know. If you didn’t, what route did you go instead. I’m very interested!
