compiling nginx on aix

Another working day in AIX... This time trying to compile a nginx server to run on top of Catalyst.

This is what has worked for me:

$ ./configure --prefix=/opt/nginx --user=nginx--group=nginx \
--without-http_rewrite_module \
--without-http-cache --with-zlib=/opt/tmp/zlib-1.2.3

$ make

Of course, first you need to get gcc from the IBM Linux Toolbox. And download the zlib source, as the nginx make will attempt to build the zlib libs.
