Hi Guys,
I am using apt-get install for nginx.
I need to pass the options "./configure --add-module=/path/to/my/push_module" as if I am going to build from source.
Is it possible?
Thanks a bunch
Arthur

I am using the Comet (Push Server), so I need to add the push server module.

Sorry, I don't understand what you want to do.
apt-get is for installing .deb packages, it can't do anything else. From your description it seems to me that software you want to install isn't a .deb package but something else, maybe a .tar.gz containing source code.

Hi,
Let me clarify it a bit.
I want to install nginx with a module called nginx_http_push_module. The module if install from source is as follows:
(http://pushmodule.slact.net/)
./configure --add-module=path/to/nginx_http_push_module
However, I want to use "apt-get install nginx" to install nginx together w/ the module.
How can I do so?
Thanks!

No. You have to install the nginx package using apt-get and then install the module either direkt from source or by first creating a packge from source and then installing that package.
If you want to create a package see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/

Hi Diesch,
Thanks for your reply again! I am coping w/ what apt-get doing now.
Normally, e.g. if I install nginx + openssl, I can
1. apt-get install nginx package
2. apt-get install openssl package
Nevertheless, I don't know if the module package can be install as normal, since:
"Modules are added by compiling them along with the Nginx source."
Can I create a package for the Nginx Push Module **via compiling the pre-installed nginx package**?, i.e.
1. apt-get install nginx
2. apt-get install push_module // compiling them along with the Nginx source.
I have no experience in making packages, sorry for the stupid questions if it is too obvious.
