Problem with statically linking Nginx

[andrewfv86@…]

Hello,

When building nginx into one static file, I get an error:

./configure --prefix=nginx-static --with-cc-opt="-static -static-libgcc" \

--with-ld-opt="-static" --with-cpu-opt=generic --with-pcre \
--with-mail --with-ipv6 --with-poll_module --with-select_module \
--with-select_module --with-poll_module \
--with-http_ssl_module --with-http_realip_module \
--with-http_addition_module --with-http_sub_module --with-http_dav_module \
--with-http_flv_module --with-http_mp4_module --with-http_gunzip_module \
--with-http_gzip_static_module --with-http_auth_request_module \
--with-http_random_index_module --with-http_secure_link_module \
--with-http_degradation_module --with-http_stub_status_module \
--with-mail --with-mail_ssl_module --with-openssl=./openssl-1.1.1g

The problem is reproduced on CentOS release 6.10 (Final)

How can I correctly specify options to the linker (--with-ld-opt) to include all dependent libraries in nginx?

Correct options depend on your operating system, compiler used, and libraries used. The objs/autoconf.err file might be helpful to find out details of the particular errors reported. The particular error you are seeing on CentOS 6 is likely due to no glibc static libraries installed, consider using yum install glibc-static to install them.

If you need further help, consider using ​support options available.
