nginx 1.6.0 failed to build (src/core/ngx_crypt.c: error: 'MD5_Update' is deprecated: first deprecated in OS X 10.7 [-Werror,-Wdeprecated-declarations])

[Siu Ching Pong (Asuka Kenji)]

nginx:
1.6.0 (​http://nginx.org/download/nginx-1.6.0.tar.gz)

OS:
Mac OS X 10.9.3

Compiler:

$ pkgutil --pkg-info=com.apple.pkg.CLTools_Executables
package-id: com.apple.pkg.CLTools_Executables
version: 5.1.0.0.1.1396320587
volume: /
location: /
install-time: 1401159658
groups: com.apple.FindSystemFiles.pkg-group com.apple.DevToolsBoth.pkg-group com.apple.DevToolsNonRelocatableShared.pkg-group

Steps to reproduce:

$ ./configure \
	--prefix=$HOME/WebHosting/root \
	--with-http_ssl_module \
	--with-pcre=$HOME/WebHosting/nginx-src/pcre-8.35 \
	--with-zlib=$HOME/WebHosting/nginx-src/zlib-1.2.8
$ make >make.log 2>&1

Workaround:
Remove the -Werror or the -Wdeprecated-declarations options from the compilation flags

There is no such a problem when compiling nginx 1.7.2.

[Siu Ching Pong (Asuka Kenji)]

Workaround:
After ./configure, edit {{{objs/Makefile}}. The original line 3 looks like this:

CFLAGS =  -pipe  -O -Wall -Wextra -Wpointer-arith -Wconditional-uninitialized -Wno-unused-parameter -Werror -g 

Removing the -Werror makes it compile successfully:

CFLAGS =  -pipe  -O -Wall -Wextra -Wpointer-arith -Wconditional-uninitialized -Wno-unused-parameter -g 

The complete log is attached as make.2.log. There are other deprecation warnings.

This is a bug in Apple's availability macros. Workaround was already committed, see 80bd391c90d1, and is available in nginx 1.7.2.

To build older versions with OS X system OpenSSL library, consider using the --with-cc-opt="-Wno-deprecated-declarations" configure option. Alternatively, install unmodified OpenSSL library, e.g., using ​MacPorts.
