centos_nginx

build requirements for nginx on centos

what's installed

building nginx requires the following yum packages to be installed on the building machine:

• pcre
• zlib
• openssl
• maxminddb
• gcc
• make

We also add:

• zip -- for zipping up build output
• wget -- for pulling the nginx source from nginx
• git -- to pull in the nginx geoip2 module source code

The actual steps to build nginx are then included in the centos_nginx.sh script
