Errors when Compiling Nginx with Pagespeed on CentOS 7

Question

I am trying to compile Nginx with Pagespeed from source and I am having a hard time trying to resolve the not found errors I am seeing when I add the configure settings. This is my configure settings:

I am using CentOS 7 - 64 bit

Configure Settings:

sudo ./configure --add-module=/nginx-compile/modules/ngx_pagespeed-release-1.9.32.1-beta \
--prefix=/etc/nginx \
--sbin-path=/usr/sbin/nginx \
--conf-path=/etc/nginx/nginx.conf \
--error-log-path=/var/log/nginx/error.log \
--http-log-path=/var/log/nginx/access.log \
--pid-path=/var/run/nginx.pid \
--lock-path=/var/run/nginx.lock \
--http-client-body-temp-path=/var/cache/nginx/client_temp \
--http-proxy-temp-path=/var/cache/nginx/proxy_temp \
--http-fastcgi-temp-path=/var/cache/nginx/fastcgi_temp \
--http-uwsgi-temp-path=/var/cache/nginx/uwsgi_temp \
--http-scgi-temp-path=/var/cache/nginx/scgi_temp \
--with-http_ssl_module \
--with-http_realip_module \
--with-http_addition_module \
--with-http_sub_module \
--with-http_dav_module \
--with-http_flv_module \
--with-http_mp4_module \
--with-http_gunzip_module \
--with-http_gzip_static_module \
--with-http_random_index_module \
--with-http_secure_link_module \
--with-http_stub_status_module \
--with-http_auth_request_module \
--with-mail \
--with-mail_ssl_module \
--with-file-aio \
--with-ipv6 \
--with-http_spdy_module \
--with-cc-opt='-O2 -g -pipe -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector \ 
--param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m64 -mtune=generic' \
--user=nginx \
--group=nginx

When I add the above in ssh, I am getting the following not found errors and no supported file AIO was found error. Here is the list I get:

Errors after executing Configure:

./configure: no supported file AIO was found
Currently file AIO is supported on FreeBSD 4.3+ and Linux 2.6.22+ only

I also installed the following dependencies before I added the configure settings:

sudo yum install gcc gcc-c++ pcre-devel zlib-devel make unzip openssl-devel

The configuration I used is similar to the configuration settings that comes when I install Nginx using centos inbuilt repo except it has the pagespeed module added.

---

UPDATE:

The actual problem was the way I've split the line when passing the --params to the configure call which is incorrect and was causing the errors. Thanks to @XavierLucas answer below, the error was resolved once I added --with-cc-opt and --params in 1 line.

EXTENDING:

While the above was the cause for error, I also learnt that its good to have the following libraries installed too in order for Nginx to make the most out of its core features and while having pagespeed module installed:

gcc 
gcc-c++ 
pcre-devel 
zlib-devel 
make 
unzip 
openssl-devel 
libaio-devel
glibc 
glibc-devel 
glibc-headers
libevent
linux-vdso.so.1
libpthread.so.0
libcrypt.so.1
libstdc++.so.6
librt.so.1
libm.so.6
libpcre.so.0
libssl.so.10
libcrypto.so.10
libdl.so.2
libz.so.1
libgcc_s.so.1
libc.so.6
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
libfreebl3.so
libgssapi_krb5.so.2
libkrb5.so.3
libcom_err.so.2
libk5crypto.so.3
libkrb5support.so.0
libkeyutils.so.1
libresolv.so.2
libselinux.so.1

And

yum groupinstall 'Development Tools'

Answer 1

To stop a bit the looong chat going on, here's the C/C++ libraries you need for a compiled version of nginx with pagespeed on CentOS:

linux-vdso.so.1
libpthread.so.0
libcrypt.so.1
libstdc++.so.6
librt.so.1
libm.so.6
libpcre.so.0
libssl.so.10
libcrypto.so.10
libdl.so.2
libz.so.1
libgcc_s.so.1
libc.so.6
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
libfreebl3.so
libgssapi_krb5.so.2
libkrb5.so.3
libcom_err.so.2
libk5crypto.so.3
libkrb5support.so.0
libkeyutils.so.1
libresolv.so.2
libselinux.so.1

Check with yum whatprovides <library> in which package it is available and make sure you have all installed.

Edit : Your options are important. For example ssp will limit stackoverflow attacks and has a security purpose. The other options will optimize the binary so it works best for your target arch.

After taking a step back, it seemed weird to me that it would crash on an external library by changing these options. Anyway that's good that you followed the previous steps we discussed so you have the required librairies to get the best performance out of nginx (remember, it's event driven so libevent is a must have !).

Your actual problem comes from the way you pass --params to the configure call. You are trying to split on a new line inside the string itself.

--with-cc-opt='-O2 -g -pipe -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector \ 
--param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m64 -mtune=generic' \

Should be :

--with-cc-opt='-O2 -g -pipe -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m64 -mtune=generic' \

And then be prepared for the wall of text :)

This is how to compile nginx 1.10.2 with pagespeed 1.11.33.4 in CentOS 7

yum update
yum install wget curl gcc-c++ pcre-devel zlib-devel make unzip openssl-devel

mkdir /root/custom-nginx
cd /root/custom-nginx

NGINX_VERSION=1.10.2          ### copy and paste, place your nginx version you want to install

wget http://nginx.org/download/nginx-${NGINX_VERSION}.tar.gz

tar zxvf nginx-${NGINX_VERSION}.tar.gz

ls -la ### check downloaded version

cd /root/custom-nginx/nginx-${NGINX_VERSION}/src/http/modules/

https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/module/build_ngx_pagespeed_from_source

go to this page in order to find the latest version

-beta does not mean not stable version, 1.11.33.4 is stable version

NPS_VERSION=1.11.33.4        ### copy and paste, place your pagespeed version you want to install

wget https://github.com/pagespeed/ngx_pagespeed/archive/release-${NPS_VERSION}-beta.zip -O release-${NPS_VERSION}-beta.zip

unzip release-${NPS_VERSION}-beta.zip

mv ngx_pagespeed-release-${NPS_VERSION}-beta ngx_pagespeed
cd ngx_pagespeed

wget https://dl.google.com/dl/page-speed/psol/${NPS_VERSION}.tar.gz
tar -xzvf ${NPS_VERSION}.tar.gz

cd /root/custom-nginx/nginx-${NGINX_VERSION}/

common configuration (nginx installed from repo + pagespeed)

./configure --add-module=/root/custom-nginx/nginx-${NGINX_VERSION}/src/http/modules/ngx_pagespeed --prefix=/etc/nginx --sbin-path=/usr/sbin/nginx --modules-path=/usr/lib64/nginx/modules --conf-path=/etc/nginx/nginx.conf --error-log-path=/var/log/nginx/error.log --http-log-path=/var/log/nginx/access.log --pid-path=/var/run/nginx.pid --lock-path=/var/run/nginx.lock --http-client-body-temp-path=/var/cache/nginx/client_temp --http-proxy-temp-path=/var/cache/nginx/proxy_temp --http-fastcgi-temp-path=/var/cache/nginx/fastcgi_temp --http-uwsgi-temp-path=/var/cache/nginx/uwsgi_temp --http-scgi-temp-path=/var/cache/nginx/scgi_temp --user=nginx --group=nginx --with-file-aio --with-threads --with-ipv6 --with-http_addition_module --with-http_auth_request_module --with-http_dav_module --with-http_flv_module --with-http_gunzip_module --with-http_gzip_static_module --with-http_mp4_module --with-http_random_index_module --with-http_realip_module --with-http_secure_link_module --with-http_slice_module --with-http_ssl_module --with-http_stub_status_module --with-http_sub_module --with-http_v2_module --with-mail --with-mail_ssl_module --with-stream --with-stream_ssl_module --with-cc-opt='-O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector-strong --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -grecord-gcc-switches -m64 -mtune=generic'

Check that /var/ngx_pagespeed_cache folder is created by nginx

Warning! Disable your repo to prevent nginx update!

Answer 3

Try this to install our basic dependencies, run:

RedHat, CentOS, or Fedora

sudo yum install gcc-c++ pcre-devel zlib-devel make unzip libuuid-devel

Ubuntu or Debian

sudo apt-get install build-essential zlib1g-dev libpcre3 libpcre3-dev unzip uuid-dev
