I'm currently trying to get nginx to work with cgit which uses cgi.
I know nginx doesn't support cgi directly but it appears you can support it indirectly via FastCGIWrap.

The link above is pretty self explanatory but I'm having a problem with compiling the program. What I've done so far:

  1. Installed libfcgi-2.4.0
  2. cd fcgiwrap && autoconf -i
  3. When I run ./configure I get this output

    configure: creating ./config.status
    config.status: creating Makefile
    config.status: WARNING:  'Makefile.in' seems to ignore the --datarootdir setting
    config.status: error: cannot find input file: config.h.in
    

After this I can't do make -s && make -s install because it can't find config.h.in.
Is there another way to install this on slackware 12.2 or is there any package of it or this program is meant only for Debian/Ubuntu like distros?

Edit: automake returns:

Useless use of /d modifier in transliteration operator at /usr/share/automake-1.10/Automake/Wrap.pm line 60.
configure.ac: no proper invocation of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE was found.
configure.ac: You should verify that configure.ac invokes AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE,
configure.ac: that aclocal.m4 is present in the top-level directory,
configure.ac: and that aclocal.m4 was recently regenerated (using aclocal).
automake: no `Makefile.am' found for any configure output

  • Try to re-unpack the distro but this time omit `autoconf` step. – yrk May 01 '12 at 19:39
  • I'd usually do that but in this case, if you download the archive, you'll see there's no `./configure` script. You can't do `make && make install` because it fails with `make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.` – tftd May 01 '12 at 19:43
  • then, try doing `automake` before `autoconf`. – yrk May 01 '12 at 19:53
  • Question updated with the result.. – tftd May 01 '12 at 21:57
  • have you tried `autoreconf -i`? – yrk May 01 '12 at 22:24
  • Yes I have. But I forgot to put it in the question. Sorry 'bout that. – tftd May 01 '12 at 22:38

    Please double-check: in the question you wrote `autoconf -i` while the instructions ask for `autoREconf -i`. If yes, then I'd suggest to reach Grzesiek, the author of the package, for his insight. – yrk May 01 '12 at 23:01
  • `autoreconfig` definitely did the work! Thanks for the help! :) – tftd May 01 '12 at 23:26

Autoreconf's option -i should generate missing autotool files using library defaults.
