NSIS natively on redhat - Bus errors etc?
I'm running the fedora 2 native build of MakeNSIS v2.01 found here: http://webaugur.com/dave/blogger/200...-on-linux.html
it works great! but when trying adding files to my installer larger than 5megs i get [BUS ERROR] and makensis crashes.. Anyone know if there's a way around this - was it standard in all v2.01 or is this OS specific? are there any newer native redhat builds around?
REALLY need to add ~10 meg files and it keeps crashing on me :(
Did you try to build it on your own computer. Don't just download pre-compiled binaries. Never a good idea for such experimental programs (on POSIX, yes!) like NSIS.
FYI:
I've made a successfull build of NSIS v2.05 under Suse 9.2 v2.05 via and adjusted makefile.
Q:
Please upload and example script to the forum, I'll test it for you if it builds.
BTW:
[bus error] more sound you try to save to and USB stick or Firewire extrnal HD and this has problems transferring files.
That page contains a build of a version prior to 2.01. This bug has been fixed in the release of 2.01. You should compile a newer version.
What a relief!
So I'm running scons as follows:
[root@localhost nsis-2.07-src]# scons SKIPSTUBS=all SKIPPLUGINS=all SKIPUTILS=all SKIPMISC=all

scons: *** [build/release/makensis/7zip/7zGuids.o] Error 2
scons: building terminated because of errors.
Keep coming up with this error :( Seems to be some sort of shell problem - anyone know what might be causing this?
onad - any tips for how you managed to get it going on suse?
First of all, I did not use scons to build the makensis but a "Makefile". I'm not so scons minded yet ;)
Anyhow if you do want to build using Scons:
1) Make sure you have Scons BETA 0.96.90 not the standard one in your distribution.
#scons -v to check your version. Download it from http://www.scons.org/ and RPM package will install easilly.
2) make sure you have ALL the files from NSIS via CVS and the nightly build.
3) Make sure you first build the precompiled *stub headers* under Win32. Yes, different is possible , I just do not advise this.
4) If you use a FAT32 Partition to move files from Win32 to linux, make sure you switch on ALL UPPERCASE files possible.
Or, better copy the files to your linux partition in /home/nsis/ first.
5) make sure you #SU or #SUDO
6)From your shell prompt in the nsis folder run: #scons SKIPSTUBS=all SKIPPLUGINS=all SKIPUTILS=all SKIPMISC=all
Success.
Again I have to say that *nix is designed to be a build platform. Most if not all code should be built on your own computer. Binaries can be downloaded and installed only if they are build for the exact same Linux distro and version (kernel). And since the latest NSIS sources are so easy to build now with scons there is no excuse.
..easy to build ? Well build me please a working "makensis" for Mac OSX :)
Seriously, thank you for your good webpages, usefull to me already.
