\A{build} Building NSIS
NSIS version 2.07 introduced a new build system, based on \W{http://www.scons.org/}{SCons}. The build system can build the entire NSIS package so there is no longer need to build it project by project. It allows building using several simultaneous jobs, installation without an installer on both Windows and POSIX and easy compilation with debugging symbols.
