Problem building the NSIS source
Hello,
I am trying to build the NSIS source and I am having some real problems. I have installed wxWidgets 2.8.4 and scons and python as instructedby the manual, and I have set a WXWIN environmental variable to the wxWidgets install directory, and I have run wxbuild.bat. After doing all that I run scons and get the following... (I don't really know how much output is useful but here's the last few lines)

So it couldn't find the setup.h file, but it it was there in a different folder, so I just copied it over, which worked, but then I got this output and there is still a problem...

So it seems to not be able to find wxbase28.lib, which is fair enough because after running a search I found that the file doesn't exist, which is weird. What I have also noticed is I keep seeing the file vc_libnsis mentioned, and vc_mswnsis, both of which again don't exist on my computer. Does anyone have any idea what is going on?
Thanks in advance for any help!
