INSTALLING NSIS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a trimmed version of Appendix "Building NSIS" of the documentation.
- Requirements
* Python version 1.6 and above (http://www.python.org/)
* SCons version 0.96.93 and above (http://www.scons.org/)
* C compiler
- Optional Tools
* HTML Help Workshop for CHM documentation (http://msdn.microsoft.com/)
* Cross compiler on POSIX platforms, i.e. MinGW (http://www.mingw.org/)
- Installing
* type:
scons PREFIX="C:\Program Files\NSIS" install
- More options
* For build options, type:
scons -h
* For SCons options, type:
scons -H
- Special cases
* If using the Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 and Platform SDK,
add MSTOOLKIT=yes to the build command line. For example:
scons MSTOOLKIT=yes PREFIX=C:\NSIS install
If path problems occur, try:
set MSSDK=C:\Path\To\Platform SDK
set VCToolkitInstallDir=C:\Path\To\VCToolkit
scons MSTOOLKIT=yes
* If a cross compiler is not available on POSIX, use:
scons SKIPSTUBS=all SKIPPLUGINS=all SKIPUTILS=all SKIPMISC=all
This should only build makensis. Once you have makensis, you can
drop it in a downloaded precompiled package such as the nightly
build.
* Options for POSIX installs
PREFIX: defaults to /usr/local
PREFIX_BIN: Where to put native binaries. Defaults to $PREFIX/bin/
PREFIX_CONF: Where to put the config file. Defaults to $PREFIX/etc/
PREFIX_DATA: Where to put the plugins, stubs, etc. Defaults to $PREFIX/share/nsis/
PREFIX_DOC: Where to put the docs and examples. Defaults to $PREFIX/share/doc/nsis/
