When i'm trying to compile nsis with VC2005express i got an error:

Somehow it doesn't know it's working with VC2005. Either MSVS_VERSION isn't set correctly due to some SCons issue or you're using an old version of NSIS.

I'm using the latest cvs files...
and scons 0.96.93

kichik

Try scons 0.96.96.

YES!!! With the 0.96.96 version of scons it works, the only problem that remainsis the NSIS Menu Compilation that doesn't work with VC2003 and VC2005, here is the log:

Use the same compiler to build both NSIS Menu and wxWidgets. Rerun Contrib\NSIS Menu\wx\wxbuild.bat with the same compiler you're now using for NSIS Menu.

WebMatze

That's what i've done, but the error still occurs...

kichik

Make sure you clean wxWidget's build directories before you rebuild.

WebMatze
22nd April 2007 05:46 UTC

I completly reinstalled wxwidgets, but the error still occurs, i also found another problem, when you try to use the dist-installer parameter with scons, the installer isn't compiled because the exdll plugin cannot be copied in the examples directory...

Try removing '$EXCEPTION_FLAG' from the call to BuildUtil in Contrib\NSIS Menu\SConscript.

You should also upgrade to wxWidgets 2.8.3, though that shouldn't affect the build.

I tried to remove the exception_flag, but i still get errors:

Right, so that didn't help.

In wxbuild.bat, change SHARED=0 to SHARED=1 and tell what's the link line for the final DLL.

Please attach large logs next time.

I tried to uninstall VC2005 and reinstalled VC20003, i get a new error message:

Try deleting .sconsign.dblite and .sconf_temp. It might have some cached configuration options about the infamous msvcprt.lib. That might explain the earlier errors as well as that lib should have the exceptions code.

Then you're probably really missing msvcprt.lib. Make sure it exists.

i ve copied msvcprt.lib and msvcrt.lib to thelib folder of my toolkit and it works fine now...

Thanks for your help
