Hello all,

I’m trying to build Nginx with NJS so we can start experimenting with it.  I do need to build our own Nginx for a variety of reasons so I can’t opt for pre-compiled packages.  I’ve tested all sorts of different build options from our standard customized build all the way down to almost the most basic build.  No matter what options I specify, if I provide OpenSSL 3.0.1 (haven’t tried plain old 3.0) at all, NJS falls to compile with Nginx ending with this generic error:

build/src/njs_diyfp.o build/src/njs_dtoa.o build/src/njs_dtoa_fixed.o build/src/njs_str.o build/src/njs_strtod.o build/src/njs_murmur_hash.o build/src/njs_djb_hash.o build/src/njs_utf8.o build/src/njs_utf16.o build/src/njs_arr.o build/src/njs_rbtree.o build/src/njs_lvlhsh.o build/src/njs_trace.o build/src/njs_random.o build/src/njs_md5.o build/src/njs_sha1.o build/src/njs_sha2.o build/src/njs_time.o build/src/njs_file.o build/src/njs_malloc.o build/src/njs_mp..o build/src/njs_sprintf.o build/src/njs_utils.o build/src/njs_chb.o build/src/njs_value.o build/src/njs_vm.o build/src/njs_vmcode.o build/src/njs_boolean.o build/src/njs_number.o build/src/njs_symbol.o build/src/njs_string.o build/src/njs_object.o build/src/njs_object_prop.o build/src/njs_array.o build/src/njs_json.o build/src/njs_function.o build/src/njs_regexp.o build/src/njs_date.o build/src/njs_error.o build/src/njs_math.o build/src/njs_timer.o build/src/njs_module.o build/src/njs_event.o build/src/njs_extern.o build/src/njs_variable.o build/src/njs_builtin.o build/src/njs_lexer.o build/src/njs_lexer_keyword.o build/src/njs_parser.o build/src/njs_generator.o build/src/njs_disassembler.o build/src/njs_array_buffer.o build/src/njs_typed_array.o build/src/njs_promise.o build/src/njs_encoding.o build/src/njs_iterator.o build/src/njs_scope.o build/src/njs_async.o build/src/njs_buffer.o build/external/njs_crypto_module.o build/external/njs_fs_module.o build/external/njs_query_string_module.o build/build/njs_modules.o
make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/njs-0.7.2'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/nginx-1.21.6'
make: *** [build] Error 2

As soon as I remove OpenSSL 3.0.1 from the build, it compiles - even if I compile in OpenSSL with a different static library than the system default.  All variations of the regular build that I do work fine.  I can compile regular Nginx with all sorts of other stuff (e.g. Lua, Brotli, etc) and it all works just fine 100% of the time until we add in NJS (even if we remove all of the 3rd party extensions from the build).  At the moment, I’m sort of stuck between either using OpenSSL 3.0.1 or using Nginx + NJS.  Is NJS 0.7.2 suffering from some sort of OpenSSL 3.0.1 incompatibility?  Or are there special build directives that we need to pass in to make it compatible?  Or does the final error output from above mean something else?

Just to avoid potential red herrings with this, here is one of the most basic configure/build commands that we’re using.  I’ve intentionally stripped most tweaks that we would usually use and it still fails.  If it matters, this is being compiled on CentOS 7 with Linux kernel 5.14 or greater (tried this on multiple systems).  Nginx version is 1.21.6, NJS is 0.7.2, and OpenSSL is 3.0.1.  GCC version is 10.2.1 (but I’ve tried with other versions as well).

Any insights that you can share would help immensely.
