--with-select_module --without-select_module - Whether or not to enable the select module. This module is enabled by default if a more suitable method such as kqueue, epoll, rtsig or /dev/poll is not discovered by configure.
--with-poll_module --without-poll_module - Whether or not to enable the poll module. This module is enabled by default if a more suitable method such as kqueue, epoll, rtsig or /dev/poll is not discovered by configure.
--with-http_ssl_module - Enable ngx_http_ssl_module. Enables SSL support and the ability to handle HTTPS requests. Requires OpenSSL. On Debian, this is libssl-dev.
--with-cc-opt=OPTIONS - Additional parameters which will be added to the variable CFLAGS. With the use of the system library PCRE in FreeBSD, it is necessary to indicate --with-cc-opt="-I /usr/local/include". If we are using select() and it is necessary to increase the number of file descriptors, then this also can be assigned here: --with-cc-opt="-D FD_SETSIZE=2048".
--with-ld-opt=OPTIONS - Additional parameters passed to the linker. With the use of the system library PCRE in FreeBSD, it is necessary to indicate --with-ld-opt="-L /usr/local/lib".
Example on Ubuntu/debian with libgcrypt11-dev, libpcre3-dev and libssl-dev installed (choose EITHER --with-md5 OR --with-sha1, but not both; on debian and ubuntu, they should both point to /usr/lib)
An Ubuntu Edgy .deb for version 0.5.2 can be found here: nginx_0.5.2-1_i386.deb.
(NOTE: According to an October 2006 message md5 was used in a now broken http cache module and sha1 is used in an incomplete mysql library module and so are currently not needed.)
