Please take a look on the following line:

The "--add-module" configure argument adds a module as a static,
i.e. built-in functionality, into main binary file nginx.

To compile a dynamic module for NGINX, please use "--add-dynamic-module"
argument for the configure script.

Also, please do not forget to add the "--with-compat" argument
for the configure script, see below link for details.

Here's the document describes how to compile a third-party dynamic module
for NGINX and NGINX Plus,
