Description
I'm building nginx-1.7.1, with the configure argument --with-openssl=../openssl-1.0.1h.
If I run the build once, with a fresh extract of the OpenSSL sources, everything works fine.
However, if I run make a subsequent time, using that same leftover ../openssl-1.0.1h folder, I get the following error:
installing man3/hmac.3 /bin/sh: 28: cannot create /vagrant/nginx-distil/nginx-1.7.1/../openssl-1.0.1h/.openssl/ssl/man/man3/hmac.3: Too many levels of symbolic links make[2]: *** [install_docs] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/vagrant/nginx-distil/openssl-1.0.1h' make[1]: *** [../openssl-1.0.1h/.openssl/include/openssl/ssl.h] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/vagrant/nginx-distil/nginx-1.7.1' make: *** [build] Error 2
A workaround is to delete the folder ../openssl-1.0.1h/.openssl, at which point make in nginx-1.7.1 works as expected.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
Works fine here. The error message suggests there is a symlink loop somewhere on the way, but it's not something observed with hmac.3 in openssl-1.0.1h.
I would recommend to check that the problem appears when using normal filesystem (the
/vagrant/part in the path suggests it's not). If it is, start digging into OpenSSL sources to find out what happens. It's highly unlikely the problem is in nginx, as it more or less just calls theconfig --prefix=... && make && make installwithin OpenSSL source directory.
