Some combinations of options might cause the builds with the
--with-stream option to break due to invalid value of the
STREAM_INCS make variable, e.g.
auto/configure \
--with-stream \
--with-http_perl_module=dynamic \
--without-http_memcached_module \
--without-http_empty_gif_module \
--without-http_browser_module \
--without-http_upstream_hash_module \
--without-http_upstream_ip_hash_module \
--without-http_upstream_least_conn_module \
--without-http_upstream_keepalive_module \
--without-http_upstream_zone_module \
Explicit initialization of ngx_module_libs and ngx_module_link
matches what we already do when processing mail modules, and
is also required after the next change.
OpenSSL 1.1.0 now uses normal "nmake; nmake install" instead of using
custom "ms\do_ms.bat" script and "ms\nt.mak" makefile. And Configure
now requires --prefix to be absolute, and no longer derives --openssldir
from prefix (so it's specified explicitly). Generated libraries are now
called "libcrypto.lib" and "libssl.lib" instead of "libeay32.lib"
and "ssleay32.lib". Appropriate tests added to support both old and new
variants.
Additionally, openssl/lhash.h now triggers warning C4090 ('function' :
different 'const' qualifiers), so the warning was disabled.
In Perl 5.8.6 the default was switched to use putenv() when used as
embedded library unless "PL_use_safe_putenv = 0" is explicitly used
in the code. Therefore, for modern versions of Perl it is no longer
necessary to restore previous environment when calling perl_destruct().
Dependencies of dynamic modules are added to NGX_ADDON_DEPS (and
it is now used for dynamic modules) to be in line with what happens
in case of static compilation.
To avoid duplication, MAIL_DEPS and STREAM_DEPS are no longer passed
to auto/module when these modules are compiled as dynamic ones. Mail
and stream dependencies are handled explicitly via corresponding
variables.
IPv6 now compiled-in automatically if support is found. If there is a need
to disable it for some reason, --with-cc-opt="-DNGX_HAVE_INET6=0" can be used
for this.
Previously flags passed by --with-ld-opt were not used when building perl
module, which meant hardening flags provided by package build systems were not
applied.
The ssl_preread module extracts information from the SSL Client Hello message
without terminating SSL. Currently, only $ssl_preread_server_name variable
is supported, which contains server name from the SNI extension.
This flag appeared in Linux 4.5 and is useful for avoiding thundering herd
problem.
The current Linux kernel implementation walks the list of exclusive waiters,
and queues an event to each epfd, until it finds the first waiter that has
threads blocked on it via epoll_wait().
This reduces the number of moving parts in ABI compatibility checks.
Additionally, it also allows to use OpenSSL in FIPS mode while still
using md5 for non-security tasks.
This parameter lets binding the proxy connection to a non-local address.
Upstream will see the connection as coming from that address.
When used with $remote_addr, upstream will accept the connection from real
client address.
Example:
proxy_bind $remote_addr transparent;
Added (RTLD_NOW | RTLD_GLOBAL) to dlopen() test. There is no RTLD_GLOBAL
on FreeBSD 2.2.9.
Added uint32_t test, with fallback to u_int32_t, similar to uint64_t one.
Added fallback to u_int32_t in in_addr_t test.
With these changes it is now possible to compile nginx on FreeBSD 2.2.9
with only few minor warnings (assuming -Wno-error).
Fixed a regression introduced in rev. 434548349838 that prevented
auto/types/sizeof and auto/types/typedef properly reporting autotest
source code to autoconf.err in case of test failure.
OPENSSL_config() deprecated in OpenSSL 1.1.0. Additionally,
SSL_library_init(), SSL_load_error_strings() and OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms()
are no longer available if OPENSSL_API_COMPAT is set to 0x10100000L.
The OPENSSL_init_ssl() function is now used instead with appropriate
arguments to trigger the same behaviour. The configure test changed to
use SSL_CTX_set_options().
Deinitialization now happens automatically in OPENSSL_cleanup() called
via atexit(3), so we no longer call EVP_cleanup() and ENGINE_cleanup()
directly.
Just using "cp" is incorrect, as it will overwrite old files
possibly used by OS, leading to unexpected effects. Changed
to "mv + cp", much like used for the main binary.
The "build" target introduced to do all build-related tasks, and
it is now used in Makefile and in objs/Makefile as a dependency for
the "install" target.
In particular, this resolves problems as observed with dynamic modules
by people trying to do "make install" without calling "make" first.
The install_sw target first appeared in OpenSSL 0.9.7e and is documented since
OpenSSL 1.0.0 as the way to install the OpenSSL software without documentation.
Before 7142b04337d6, it was possible to build the OpenSSL library
along with nginx, and link nginx statically with this library
(--with-openssl=DIR --with-ld-opt=-static --with-http_ssl_module).
This was broken on Linux by not adding -ldl after -lcrypto.
The fix also makes it possible to link nginx statically on Linux
with the system OpenSSL library, which never worked before.
