@petecooper

from nginx-devel ML,

https://forum.nginx.org/read.php?29,293178,293179#msg-293179

the second issue, above, seems to be the relevant one here.

and,

"The NAXSI bug mentioned in the second commit needs to be fixed before it will be possible to build NAXSI with PCRE2."

"The" bug refers to incorrect usage of PCRE_MULTILINE.

but, afaict, is not yet filed/open as an existing issue here @ naxsi

For what's worth, we are using this patch on Arch to build this module: https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-community/blob/packages/nginx-mod-naxsi/trunk/587-pcre2.patch

I do not know why this is still open but it was fixed: https://github.com/wargio/naxsi/commit/9e06c5f53b2e393e40e9df7746a7b8bc4c2abfa4
