3. Enable Nginx to Handle Perl

autoconf

> curl -OL http://mirror.sdunix.com/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-2.69.tar.gz

configure & make & install

 

automake

> curl -OL http://mirrors.kernel.org/gnu/automake/automake-1.9.tar.gz

libtool

> curl -OL http://open-source-box.org/libtool/libtool-2.4.tar.gz

 

Then try to install fcgiwrap

>autoreconf -i

 

Error Message during install fcgiwrap

configure.ac:32: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_DEFINE
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.

autoreconf: /Users/carl/tool/autoconf-2.69/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1

 

Solution:

https://github.com/Automattic/node-canvas/wiki/installation---osx

 

Install pkg-config

> curl -OL http://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/releases/pkg-config-0.28.tar.gz

> ./configure --prefix=/Users/carl/tool/pkg-config-0.28 --with-internal-glib

 

>autoreconf -i

Working fine

>./configure —prefix=/Users/carl/tool/fcgiwrap

 

Error Message:

checking for FCGX_Init in -lfcgi... no

configure: error: FastCGI library is missing

 

Solution:

http://www.fastcgi.com/drupal/node/5

Install the fastcgi

> curl -OL http://www.fastcgi.com/dist/fcgi.tar.gz

 

Finally, still fails to install  https://github.com/gnosek/fcgiwrap.

 

Try this

http://wiki.nginx.org/SimpleCGI

 

Still not working, it seems hard on MAC for me.
