NSIS compiler dll
Hello friends,
in the past i saw a NSIS dll, i mean a NSIS-comiler in '*.dll' format.
Where can i get it?
Are the changes in the sourcecode are OpenSource?
Is it possible to make a NSIS 2.0 (a7) compiler dll?
Thank you for your help!

I think if it will be better if you will just use the source of makensisw because you won't have to recompile it for every version of NSIS.
Hello kichik,
Have you saw that NSIS dll (NSIS 1.98) too?
Where i can find it?

Thank you for your help!

Why would you use a DLL? If you want to get the output of Makensis, use the same system as the window wrapper.
Hello Joost,
Why would you use a DLL? If you want to get the output of Makensis, use the same system as the window wrapper.i develop an IDE/Editor for NSIS. And for that i basicly would like:
It probably wouldn't be hard to compile nsis as a dll. The main thing would be to update g_output so that its not stdout, but some type of buffer.
Originally posted by FiffiThe MakeNSIS Window Wrapper (MakeNSISW) does exactly the same thing. Have a look at the source.
Hello Joost,
i develop an IDE/Editor for NSIS. And for that i basicly would like:
-to call the NSIS compiler without a "console window" and catch his "output...".
-call the NSIS compiler fast (don't create a console window....)

Hello rainwater,
It probably wouldn't be hard to compile nsis as a dll. The main thing would be to update g_output so that its not stdout, but some type of buffer.Do you think, the time reduction to compile a installer is big between a MakeNSIS dll and a MakeNSISW dll?
Just integrate the MakeNSISW code in your IDE to capture the output.
Originally posted by FiffiThe slowness in the current makensisw is caused because of makensisw constantly peeking and copying the output to the console. This is being changed for the next version. You shouldn't see much difference in the compile time especially since you would have already loaded the GUI components before you compile. The advantage of copying the output is that users can use new versions of makensis.exe with the editor. In fact, you should just add the option to let the user choose which version of makensis.exe to use.

Hello rainwater,

you should just add the option to let the user choose which version of makensis.exe to use.Yes, i will add the option to choose several comilers.
