Archive: Build NSISDL (new version)


Build NSISDL (new version)
I need to modify NSISDL.DLL. (Basically I need to modify the error messages and eliminate the spaces in them).

I don't see a makefile or any other supporting items to do the build, so has anyone done this or know how to do it?

I'll be probably using VC98 (if I can) to do the build. IF that won't work I suppose I can install a later product, but would like to use what I have.


See the documentation for build instructions:

http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Docs/AppendixG.html#G


Get lost in this. Most likely python is not in the path, installer did not make it for some reasons. But I don't know what should be in the path? What folder?

Even after I added c:\python25 in path, scons is still not recognized commnad.

I tried to open it like C:\Python25\python.exe C:\Python25\Scripts\scons
it says - sconstruct is not found.

I have no sconstruct files in nsisdl source...

Would someone please advise me, what is gong on? How to fight this creature?


IS that possible to build only nsisdl without rebuilding of the entire NSIS?


If it can't find SConstruct, you're in the wrong folder. Change the working directory to the folder containing NSIS source code.


Thanks!

Yes. Simply run scons nsisdl.


Thanks! Will try on Mondady.
