Thinking about re-compile
Hi!

I was thinking to make some changes in Nsis.
For example the "Verify installer: " to spanish. :D
But, what compiler(s) does the creators recommend
to re-compile Nsis? I try with Dev-C++ but no luck,
to many errors :igor:

PS: Please, other than Visual C++ :D

MinGW and Borland's compilers worked, but the makefiles are out of date so you'll have to update them. You can also try the compiler that Microsoft are giving for free with the .NET Framework SDK, it should work.

Ok.

Do you have the link or url to get the
.NET Framework SDK?

I never try MinGW, also trying

OK, now I need a little push.
How to use MinGW to re-compile Nsis.
Witch file on resource is the main to open it with MinGW?
Thanks

I think it'll be easier for you to use Dev-C++... Just configure it to compile with MinGW. As far as I know Dev-C++ is capable of importing VC6 project files. Use this feature and you're set.

Ok :up: , but witch file should I open in Dev C++?

You should import makenssi.dsw.

No :( . Return many errors in the exehead.

Can't find this files or directories:
#include "exehead/Release-zlib/icon.h"
#include "exehead/Release-zlib/unicon.h"

Then import exehead-bzip2.dsp and exehead-zlib.dsp too and compile them first.

Dev C++ stuck.
I'll just going to get Visual C++ :)
