I see two options here:
(1) If you really need to have the source of the Nginx Lua module
extracted before building nginx in order to use the --add-module
option, then you will have to create a package like nginx-lua,
that only downloads/extracts the module source code (and does not
build/install it). Then you change the nginx package to depend on
this nginx-lua package, and you pass --add-module=$(NGINX_LUA_DIR).
(2) If however, it is possible to build nginx-lua after nginx, then
you can do a better and more traditional packaging. Even though
they document --add-module as being the way of building nginx-lua,
all it seems to do during nginx configure is calling the "config"
script from nginx-lua, and then the "config.make" script. So I am
pretty sure it is possible to build nginx-lua after nginx.
If it is possible, (2) would be preferred.
Note that this is clearly not a trivial package to create.
Best regards,
Thomas
