Building Ngx_cache_purge Module On CentOS Linux Release 7.9.2009 (Core).
Hi,
I am referring to https://github.com/FRiCKLE/ngx_cache_purge/ and running the open source nginx version: nginx/1.20.2 on CentOS Linux release
7.9.2009 (Core). When i trying to compile the ngx_cache_purge_module.c I am encountering fatal error: nginx.h: No such file or directory

Hi,
I can only guess but I think there is no -devel package available. What I
found is nginx-mod-devel and it includes the nginx.h file. Maybe you need this to compile.

Hi Kaushal,
Try “yum search nginx” instead and examine its output. You’ll find your answer.

Hi Kaushal,
Yes, you’re missing basic knowledge on how to compile C programs. Look at the man page of “gcc” and figure out how to use the “-I” flag.
