Description

Can it be compiled with --with-compat so dynamic modules can be compiled and loaded?

Also can ssdeep and yajl be added to the distro so ModSecurity and ModSecurity-nginx can be compiled on Photon?

Thanks

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating the nginx build configuration and Photon distro package definitions, then check how --with-compat is configured and whether ssdeep and yajl can be added. Done means dynamic modules can be built and loaded, with both dependencies available for ModSecurity and ModSecurity-nginx on Photon.
