-----------

Sometimes you need to integrate Nginx build into a larger project.  If

that project uses CMake, you have two options. Either try to wrap

native Nginx build system using ExternalProject_Add(), or to rewrite

build steps in CMake language.

Former is easier at start, but you lose control over that build part.

Incremental builds become fragile, as CMake dependency extractor is

not working for external projects.

Latter is a lot harder, but what you get is uniform build scripts, all

in CMake. It's more reliable, and produces way less of clutter on a

screen during build.

This repository contains solution in the second way. Scripts in

CMake. There are:

* (outdated) direct rewrite of Nginx's build system in

  [/direct-rewrite](/direct-rewrite);

* tracing script approach in [/tracing-script](/tracing-script).

Direct rewrite was a first attempt to make a CMake build script by

manually reimplementing Nginx's build scripts. It targeted Nginx

1.11.6 and Linux, with other OS support dropped right away. That

script most probably won't work for other Nginx versions, and

definitely won't work on an OS other than GNU/Linux. There is also no

dynamic modules support code.

Tracing script is a hack that by intercepting compiler (`CC` and `CXX`

variables) learns what files to compile and what objects and libraries

to link. There are more detailed explanations inside the script.
