The only documentation currently available is: $ ./configure --help | grep compat --with-compat dynamic modules compatibility Expanding the above, this option enables dynamic modules compatibility, that is, it ensures that appropriate fields in structures are present (or appropriately-sized placeholders are added). This makes it possible to compile additional dynamic modules with minimal efforts assuming main nginx binary is compiled --with-compat. Just $ ./configure --with-compat --add-dynamic-module=/path/to/module should be enough to compile a binary compatible module (assuming the same platform is used for compilation). >From package maintaining point of view it should be a good idea to add the option to nginx builds. This will allow others to easily compile dynamic modules to be loaded into nginx shipped in the package. -- Maxim Dounin http://nginx.org/ _______________________________________________ nginx-devel mailing list nginx-devel@nginx.org http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx-devel
