Build failing on Ubuntu 22.04 with Brotli

[Firzenizer]

When I am trying to build with just brotli using: OS: Ubuntu 22.04 System's OpenSSL (3.0.2 ) Stable 1.22.0 or Mainline 1.21.6

gcc version: 11.2.0 (Ubuntu 11.2.0-19ubuntu1)

I get following error: cc -c -pipe -O -W -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wno-unused-parameter -Werror -g -Wno-ignored-qualifiers -Wno-deprecated-declarations -I src/core -I src/event -I src/event/modules -I src/os/unix -I objs -I src/http -I src/http/modules -I src/http/v2 -I /usr/local/src/nginx/modules/ngx_brotli/deps/brotli/c/include \ -o objs/addon/enc/encode.o \ /usr/local/src/nginx/modules/ngx_brotli/deps/brotli/c/enc/encode.c /usr/local/src/nginx/modules/ngx_brotli/deps/brotli/c/enc/encode.c:1433:20: error: argument 5 of type ‘const uint8_t *’ {aka ‘const unsigned char *’} declared as a pointer [-Werror=vla-parameter] 1433 | const uint8_t* input_buffer, size_t* encoded_size, | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~ In file included from /usr/local/src/nginx/modules/ngx_brotli/deps/brotli/c/enc/encode.c:9: /usr/local/src/nginx/modules/ngx_brotli/deps/brotli/c/include/brotli/encode.h:293:19: note: previously declared as a variable length array ‘const uint8_t[*encoded_size]’ {aka ‘const unsigned char[*encoded_size]’} 293 | const uint8_t input_buffer[BROTLI_ARRAY_PARAM(input_size)], | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ /usr/local/src/nginx/modules/ngx_brotli/deps/brotli/c/enc/encode.c:1434:14: error: argument 7 of type ‘uint8_t *’ {aka ‘unsigned char *’} declared as a pointer [-Werror=vla-parameter] 1434 | uint8_t* encoded_buffer) { | ~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In file included from /usr/local/src/nginx/modules/ngx_brotli/deps/brotli/c/enc/encode.c:9: /usr/local/src/nginx/modules/ngx_brotli/deps/brotli/c/include/brotli/encode.h:295:13: note: previously declared as a variable length array ‘uint8_t[input_size]’ {aka ‘unsigned char[input_size]’} 295 | uint8_t encoded_buffer[BROTLI_ARRAY_PARAM(*encoded_size)]); | ~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ cc1: all warnings being treated as errors make[1]: *** [objs/Makefile:1529: objs/addon/enc/encode.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/local/src/nginx/nginx-1.21.6' make: *** [Makefile:10: build] Error 2 make -f objs/Makefile install make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/local/src/nginx/nginx-1.21.6' cc -c -pipe -O -W -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wno-unused-parameter -Werror -g -Wno-ignored-qualifiers -Wno-deprecated-declarations -I src/core -I src/event -I src/event/modules -I src/os/unix -I objs -I src/http -I src/http/modules -I src/http/v2 -I /usr/local/src/nginx/modules/ngx_brotli/deps/brotli/c/include \ -o objs/addon/enc/encode.o \ /usr/local/src/nginx/modules/ngx_brotli/deps/brotli/c/enc/encode.c /usr/local/src/nginx/modules/ngx_brotli/deps/brotli/c/enc/encode.c:1433:20: error: argument 5 of type ‘const uint8_t *’ {aka ‘const unsigned char *’} declared as a pointer [-Werror=vla-parameter] 1433 | const uint8_t* input_buffer, size_t* encoded_size, | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~ In file included from /usr/local/src/nginx/modules/ngx_brotli/deps/brotli/c/enc/encode.c:9: /usr/local/src/nginx/modules/ngx_brotli/deps/brotli/c/include/brotli/encode.h:293:19: note: previously declared as a variable length array ‘const uint8_t[*encoded_size]’ {aka ‘const unsigned char[*encoded_size]’} 293 | const uint8_t input_buffer[BROTLI_ARRAY_PARAM(input_size)], | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ /usr/local/src/nginx/modules/ngx_brotli/deps/brotli/c/enc/encode.c:1434:14: error: argument 7 of type ‘uint8_t *’ {aka ‘unsigned char *’} declared as a pointer [-Werror=vla-parameter] 1434 | uint8_t* encoded_buffer) { | ~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In file included from /usr/local/src/nginx/modules/ngx_brotli/deps/brotli/c/enc/encode.c:9: /usr/local/src/nginx/modules/ngx_brotli/deps/brotli/c/include/brotli/encode.h:295:13: note: previously declared as a variable length array ‘uint8_t[input_size]’ {aka ‘unsigned char[input_size]’} 295 | uint8_t encoded_buffer[BROTLI_ARRAY_PARAM(*encoded_size)]); | ~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ cc1: all warnings being treated as errors make[1]: *** [objs/Makefile:1529: objs/addon/enc/encode.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/local/src/nginx/nginx-1.21.6' make: *** [Makefile:13: install] Error 2 strip: '/usr/sbin/nginx': No such file Job for nginx.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
