modules and compiling nginx 1.21.3 from source

Hi all,

When nginx is installed from the ubuntu 20.4 repos,
it sets up assorted modules in nginx/modules-enabled
When I load it, it loads just fine.

However I need a few extra modules, which I compiled
in using ubuntu 18.04. So, copied the Sources directory over and updated
the modules that have been updated, and compiled on the new machine.
make and make install are without errors.

This is the configuration:
../configure --prefix=/etc/nginx \
--sbin-path=/usr/sbin/nginx \
--conf-path=/etc/nginx/nginx.conf \
--error-log-path=/var/log/nginx/error.log \
--http-log-path=/var/log/nginx/access.log \
--pid-path=/var/run/nginx.pid \
--lock-path=/var/run/nginx.lock \
--http-client-body-temp-path=/var/cache/nginx/client_temp \
--http-proxy-temp-path=/var/cache/nginx/proxy_temp \
--http-fastcgi-temp-path=/var/cache/nginx/fastcgi_temp \
--http-uwsgi-temp-path=/var/cache/nginx/uwsgi_temp \
--http-scgi-temp-path=/var/cache/nginx/scgi_temp \
--user=www-data \
--group=www-data \
--with-http_ssl_module \
--with-openssl=../openssl-1.1.1i \
--with-http_realip_module \
--with-http_addition_module \
--with-http_sub_module \
--with-http_dav_module \
--with-http_flv_module \
--with-http_mp4_module \
--with-http_gunzip_module \
--with-http_gzip_static_module \
--with-http_random_index_module \
--with-http_secure_link_module \
--with-http_stub_status_module \
--with-http_auth_request_module \
--with-threads \
--with-stream \
--with-stream_ssl_module \
--with-http_slice_module \
--with-mail \
--with-mail_ssl_module \
--with-file-aio \
--with-http_v2_module \
--with-pcre=../pcre-8.44 \
--with-zlib=../zlib-1.2.11 \
--add-module=../nchan-1.2.12

Now it will not load, because it tries to load the first module in
modules enabled (brotli) and fails - file missing.

I have worked round it, by moving all the links from modules-enabled to
modules-available. However my Google-foo has failed me trying to find
out anything about those new modules.

Can someone point me to the docs, or explain how (and when) to use.

Regards

Ian
