nginx-build - provides a command to build nginx seamlessly.

• wget for downloading nginx and external libraries
• git and hg for downloading 3rd party modules

• nginx
• OpenResty
• Tengine

go get -u github.com/cubicdaiya/nginx-build

If you don't have go-runtime, you may download the binary from here.

If you are Mac OS X user, you can use Homebrew.

brew tap cubicdaiya/nginx-build
brew install nginx-build

nginx-build provides a mechanism for customizing configuration for building nginx.

Prepare a configure script like the following.

#!/bin/sh

./configure \
--sbin-path=/usr/sbin/nginx \
--conf-path=/etc/nginx/nginx.conf \

Give this file to nginx-build with -c.

$ nginx-build -d work -c configure.example

From v0.4.0, nginx-build allows to use nginx's configure options directly.

$ nginx-build -d work \
--sbin-path=/usr/sbin/nginx \
--conf-path=/etc/nginx/nginx.conf \
--error-log-path=/var/log/nginx/error.log \
--pid-path=/var/run/nginx.pid \
--lock-path=/var/lock/nginx.lock \
--http-log-path=/var/log/nginx/access.log \
--http-client-body-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/body \
--http-proxy-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/proxy \
--with-http_stub_status_module \
--http-fastcgi-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/fastcgi \
--with-debug \
--with-http_gzip_static_module \
--with-http_spdy_module \
--with-http_ssl_module \
--with-pcre-jit \

nginx-build allows to use multiple --add-module from v0.4.2.

$ nginx-build \
-d work \
--add-module=../nginx/ngx_small_light \
--add-module=../nginx/ngx_dynamic_upstream

On the other hand, nginx-build allows to embed multiple 3rd party modules with the single --add-module like the following, too.

$ nginx-build \
-d work \
--add-module=../nginx/ngx_small_light,../nginx/ngx_dynamic_upstream

The values of --add-module of nginx-build must be separated by ','. This feature is introduced in v0.4.0.

There are the limitations for the direct configuration below.

• --with-pcre(force PCRE library usage) is not allowed
• --with-pcre=DIR(set path to PCRE library sources) is allowed
• --with-libatomic(force libatomic_ops library usage) is not allowed
• --with-libatomic=DIR(set path to libatomic_ops library sources) is allowed

The limitations above are attributed by the flag package of Go. (multiple and different types from each other are not allowed)

Give -zlib to nginx-build.

$ nginx-build -d work -zlib

-zlibversion is an option to set a version of zlib.

$ nginx-build -d work -zlib -zlibversion=1.2.8

Give -pcre to nginx-build.

$ nginx-build -d work -pcre

-pcreversion is an option to set a version of PCRE.

$ nginx-build -d work -pcre -pcreversion=8.37

Give -openssl to nginx-build.

$ nginx-build -d work -openssl

-opensslversion is an option to set a version of OpenSSL.

$ nginx-build -d work -openssl -opensslversion=1.0.2d

nginx-build provides a mechanism for embedding 3rd-party modules. Prepare a ini-file below.

[echo-nginx-module]
form=git
url=https://github.com/openresty/echo-nginx-module.git
rev=v0.58

[ngx_devel_kit]
form=git
url=https://github.com/simpl/ngx_devel_kit
rev=v0.2.19

Give this file to nginx-build with -m.

$ nginx-build -d work -m modules.cfg.example

nginx-build supports to build OpenResty.

$ nginx-build -d work -openresty -pcre

If you don't install PCRE on your system, it is required to add the option -pcre.

And there is the limitation for the support of OpenResty. nginx-build does not allow to use OpenResty's unique configure options directly. But you can use the common options of nginx and OpenResty directly.

nginx-build supports to build Tengine.

$ nginx-build -d work -tengine

There is the limitation for the support of Tengine. nginx-build does not allow to use Tengine's unique configure options directly. But you can use the common options of nginx and Tengine directly.
