This Wiki page contains "copy & paste" recipes to compile libModSecurity (and connectors) in your favorite Linux distribution.
If your distribution is missing and you manage to compile it, don't forget to add it here in this list.
Attention: Before start the compilation process make sure that the paths are right, and the commands are sane.
