Can't compile UserVars.nsi
In the examples folder, I'm trying to compile "UserVars.nsi" and its not compiling...I'm getting this error:

Error: DIM specified, case NSIS_SUPPORT_NAMED_USERVARS not defined.
Error in script "D:\NSIS\Examples\UserVars.nsi" on line 31 -- aborting creation process

NSIS_SUPPORT_NAMED_USERVARS is not compiled in by default yet. You'd have to uncomment the #define line in Source\exehead\config.h and recompile.

any idea when it will be standard?

Just tried compiling with DevC++ and compiled the MakeFile and it errored...are there instructions on how to compile it? I suppose I could hit search and I bet something comes up :)

When it's ready and working on its best :)

The makefiles are out of date. I think DevC++ is capable of importing VC project files. Try importing makenssi.dsw the .dsp files (all of them).

this is starting to get a little over my head...

any idea how to "import"?

*edit* I found an old post about using MingGW to recompile...is that still an option?

No, MinGW needs the makefiles too. DevC++ should have an import option in one of the menus, it should be real easy from there on.

i have any older version...going to update now. I didn't see an import option in DevC++ 4.0

There is a file called ImportMSVCFm.pas on DevC++ 5's CVS repository, so you should be able to import in version 5.

got it imported...it didn't compile, got a bunch of warnings but this is the first error:

6 D:\NSIS\Source\build.cpp
In file included from build.cpp

the line is : #include "exedata.h"

It doesn't look like this compiler is compatible, maybe you can get a .NET SDK from Microsoft that includes a compiler.

As far as I can tell it's just saying there is no line break at the end of exedata.h. I don't see any mention to an error there...

Don't copy and paste huge blocks of code/log please. Attached.

Anyway, that log doesn't help either. It doesn't mention any error but the error count.

Try what Joost said.
