If you don't have Microsoft Visual C++, you can download the free \W{http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/list/netdevframework.asp}{.NET Framework SDK} (requires Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003), which includes the latest Microsoft compiler. This SDK does not include the Win32 API headers/libraries, so you should also download the latest \W{http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/}{Platform SDK}. See the Microsoft documentation for information about using the command line compiler and linker tools.
You can also compile NSIS using \W{http://www.mingw.org/}{MinGW}, but this results in noticeably larger exeheads. To compile using MinGW, simply use `make'. Borland C++ or Open Watcom C/C++ should also work but probably require some makefile changes.
You can also compile NSIS using \W{http://www.mingw.org/}{MinGW} and \W{http://www.mingw.org/msys.shtml}{MSYS} or \W{http://www.cygwin.com/}{Cygwin}, but this results in noticeably larger exeheads. To compile using MinGW, simply use `make'. Borland C++ or Open Watcom C/C++ should also work but probably require some makefile changes.
As of NSIS 2.01, the compiler, makensis, also compiles on POSIX platforms. POSIX platforms include Linux, *BSD, Mac OS X and others. You must first compile the exeheads to be able to compile makensis. This can be done on Windows using the methods explained above, or using a cross compiler. Once the exeheads are compiled, you must copy over the .h files in Source\\exehead\\Release-*. These .h files are automatically generated during the build process from the compiled exeheads. Official NSIS source code releases for POSIX include these .h files, so it is only needed to manually compile them if the source code was taken from CVS.
