I am running CentOS 6 x64, and I wish to compile nginx 1.11.9 against OpenSSL 1.0.2k so I can make use of HTTP/2.

I've downloaded openssl-1.0.2k to /usr/local/src:

[root@qpat1 nginx-1.11.9]# ls /usr/local/src openssl-1.0.2k

I am attempting to compile nginx using these commands:

$ ./configure --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-compat --with-file-aio --with-threads --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_realip_module --with-stream_ssl_module --with-stream_ssl_preread_module --with-cc-opt='-O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m64 -mtune=generic -fPIC' --with-ld-opt='-Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-z,now -pie' --with-openssl=/usr/local/src/openssl-1.0.2k $ make

It works for a while and then kicks up:

I have tried about everything I can think of. I have followed instructions I've found for similar issues to compile OpenSSL with -fPIC:

./config -fPIC make depend make make install

Nothing seems to be working. Any advice is appreciated.

With some inspiration from IRC, I discovered that the Makefile generated by nginx's configure script doesn't compile OpenSSL (or any other sources you're using, like zlib) with -fPIC. Editing the generated Makefile (objs/Makefile), finding the openssl ./config command, and adding -fPIC to that command line made it compile.

I have instructions on how to build Nginx from source on this answer. It was pretty easy. I didn't build OpenSSL, I used a binary.

  • I was able to build with no issues without specifying a custom OpenSSL version. Using a different OpenSSL source is what triggered my problem. – Dr. McKay Feb 08 '17 at 07:34
