Inspite of the nice Scons solution I still think there is a want/need for information on makefiles. Why: Not all servers can have aditional software installed like python and Scons.

E.G. if one hase gcc on Solaris we must have the option to make "makensis" on this machine with pre-compiled exeheads.

Since I do have a posibility to make those precompiled exeheads on a windows machine I can always actulize them myself.

If I finally succeed in compiling the makensssi.cpp on Solaris after that I will try to make a document / webpage aboout automated NSIS on various *NIX platforms. Since I just ordered a Mac with OSX this will probabbly also included ;)

Since I'm new to all the Solaris etc. stuff it still can take awhile. Help is really appriciated.

There will be no more makefiles unless they can be automatically genereated by SCons. SCons has very minimal requirements, only Python 1.5.2, which is a very low limit.

You are still able to use pre-built stubs/exeheads with the new build system:

scons SKIPSTUBS=all

I love to makes such a page but not before I get it to work on the Sparc SunOS 5.8 an 10. Then I'll create a page.

After that I'll continue on my brandnew 12" powerbook to see if I can build a build on OSX

I could use more SunOS help and tips since it's is all new to me and a LOT of info to read and tings to try.
