Problem with nginx autoconfigure

Server NGINX
1

Hi.

I’m having problems at auto configuring mod_wsgi on FreeBSD.

Here is the configuration:

ngx_feature=“wsgi”
ngx_feature_name=
ngx_feature_run=no
ngx_feature_incs="#include <Python.h>"
ngx_feature_path="/usr/local/include/python2.4"
ngx_feature_libs="-L /usr/local/lib -lpython2.4"
ngx_feature_test=“Py_Initialize()”
. auto/feature

I think the values are correct (they are queried using Python
distutils), however the nginx configure script has problems with
ngx_feature_libs.

If I remove ngx_feature_libs and, of course, ngx_feature_test, mod_wsgi
configures and compiles without problems.

What can be the problem?

One last question: I would like to add a --with-python= option to the
configure script. This option tells the configure script the “custom”
Python interpreter to use for configuration.

Is this possible without patching the script?

Thanks Manlio P.

Ok, solved reading the autoconf.err: a missing library (pthread).

No.

You should not use hardcoded includes, libs, etc.
Look python capabilities to report build options.

See auto/lib/perl/conf how configure use

perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ccopts
perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ldopts
