I'm attempting to follow the instructions here to compile nginx on Windows:
http://nginx.org/en/docs/howto_build_on_win32.html
First of all, when the instructions say "Start MySYS bash" I'm assuming it means "run MinGW/msys/1.0/msys.bat"?
Secondly, when I do this, I noticed that "MinGW/msys/1.0/home/JensenV/" is where Mercurial puts things I check out. This seems to be my 'home' directory. Okay, cool.
Where I get stuck is running the configuration script. First, it says to use "auto/configure" but when I do this, I get:
"sh: auto/configure: No such file or directory".
So I tried just "configure" instead which seems to be right (is it?), but then I get a Windows dialog box saying "configure.exe has stopped working" and this output is in MINGW32's bash console:
----------
License file not found in C:/MinGW/msys/1.0/home/JensenV
Enterprise modules will not be available.
QDir::readDirEntries: Cannot read the directory: C:/MinGW/msys/1.0/home/JensenV/
objs/lib/src (UTF8)
Unknown option --with-cc=cl
QMAKESPEC must either be defined as an environment variable, or specified
as an argument with -spec
QDir::readDirEntries: Cannot read the directory: C:/MinGW/msys/1.0/home/JensenV/
objs/lib/mkspecs (UTF8)
----------
At this point I'm stuck. I do recognize "QDir" as a Qt command (http://qt-project.org/)... we use Qt here at work. But I'm at a loss as to why it's looking for "objs/lib/src" or "objs/lib/mkspecs" (none of these exist) or how I'm supposed to fix this issue. Nothing was in the instructions about creating these directories or filling them with contents of some sort.
If I create empty directories for src and mkspecs, I still get the errors above for "Unknown option --with-cc=cl" and "QMAKESPEC must either be defined as an environment variable, or specified as an argument with -spec". What should this environment variable be set to, and why is -with-cc=cl unsupported?
Also, the instructions say to use "nmake" as the final step, but only "make" seems to be a valid command. Typo? Or am I using the wrong shell or something?
