INSTALLING NSIS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a trimmed version of Appendix F of the documentation.
- Requirements
* Python version 1.5.2 and above (http://www.python.org/)
* SCons version 0.96.90 and above (http://www.scons.org/)
* C compiler
- 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 free Visual C++ Toolkit and Platform SDK
(available at http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/vctoolkit2003/,
http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/),
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.
