Compiling NSIS with VC++ and incorrect libcp.lib error
Hi,

I'm trying to compile NSIS with VC++ 2005 Express Edition with SDK Windows 2003 R2. I've installed Python 2.5, added the Python dir to %PATH% and installed Scons (tried both 0.96.91 and 0.96.92 versions) into the Python dir.

Now when I try to build with:

scons MSTOOLKIT=YES

I get the error that no correct libcp.lib can be found. I've already tried renaming the file from the %MSSDK%\lib dir like suggested in other threats but this doesn't seem to help.

Who can point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

1) Dod you actually have libcp.lib?
2) If you do, is correctly register the directory of its path in your IDE?

Yes, libcp.lib is in the \Lib folder inside the SDK installation folder.

The IDE (VC++) is correctly configured to point to the SDK folders as I can compile other projects without problems.

Any suggestions?

maybe you forgot to included?
like

#pragmacomment(lib,"libcp.lib")

Unfortunately MSVC 2005 is not yet supported.

There are some workarounds in this topic:

Hopefully this will be solved soon, many people are using the free MSVC 2005 Express editions.

Thanks, I will wait and follow further development around this matter and try again later.
