Install everything, extract nsis-2.29-src, open a console window, change the working directory to wherever you extracted the source code and type scons. Follow the documentation to find out more options for scons.

And just to make sure you're not going for an overkill here, why do you want to build it, if you don't have any programming knowledge? There are pre-built versions available. So unless you want to modify the source and learn from it, you can use the pre-built version.
