Latest stable is 1.2.8, and that's what you see in the official repository. Latest mainline is 1.3.15, it is available in a separate repository, see here: http://nginx.org/en/linux_packages.html#mainline > 2.

We don't really support cross-compilation in our configure/build system, but there were reports of success with relatively few tweaks to configure. You may try to look into ./objs/autoconf.err for more information on what fails during configure. -- Maxim Dounin http://nginx.org/en/donation.html _______________________________________________ nginx mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx
