Compile NGINX with Openssl statically

Server NGINX
1

Hi members…

I need your help.

I’m trying to compile NGINX 1.4.4 with openssl 1.0.1e statically but
the make process fail.

Step 1:
./configure --prefix=/etc/nginx --conf-path=/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
–sbin-path=/usr/bin/nginx --pid-path=/run/nginx.pid
–lock-path=/run/lock/nginx.lock --user=http --group=http
–http-log-path=/var/log/nginx/access.log
–error-log-path=/var/log/nginx/error.log
–http-client-body-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/client-body
–http-proxy-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/proxy
–http-fastcgi-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/fastcgi
–http-scgi-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/scgi
–http-uwsgi-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/uwsgi
–with-openssl=/tmp/compile/openssl-1.0.1e
–with-md5=/tmp/compile/openssl-1.0.1e --with-md5-asm
–with-sha1=/tmp/compile/openssl-1.0.1e --with-sha1-asm
–with-pcre=/tmp/compile/pcre-8.33 --with-zlib=/tmp/compile/zlib-1.2.8
–with-imap --with-imap_ssl_module --with-pcre-jit --with-file-aio
–with-http_dav_module --with-http_gunzip_module
–with-http_gzip_static_module --with-http_realip_module
–with-http_spdy_module --with-http_ssl_module
–with-http_stub_status_module --with-http_addition_module
–with-http_degradation_module --with-http_flv_module
–with-http_mp4_module --with-http_secure_link_module
–with-http_sub_module

Step2:
make

… and I get the GCC error message:

What I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance and sorry about my poor english.

Errors suggest compilation of the OpenSSL library fails as pod2man
on your system (perl 5.18?) doesn’t like one of OpenSSL’s pod
files. Try looking, e.g., here:

There seems to be a patch for OpenSSL there. Alternatively,
do something like

cd /tmp/compile/openssl-1.0.1e && make install_sw

and then continue building nginx. It should bypass OpenSSL’s
documentation processing this way, and nginx should be built
without problems (not tested though).

Hi Maxim!

It worked! I applyed de openssl-1.0.1e-fix_pod_syntax-1.patch and the
openssl compiled!

Now, I will try this procedure on my RHEL6.

Thanks.
