How to build nsis source code
I want to change message "unpacking data" ,for that i have downloaded nsis source code and changd file Source\exehead\lang.h,for the compilation of nsis source code i refer following link http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Docs/AppendixG.html

I have installed python-2.5.1.msi, scons-0.97.win32.exe ,Microsoft visual tooltip 2003,microsoft visual c++ 2006,

but when i run "scons MSTOOLKIT=yes" command prompt it gives error "Scons is not recognised as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file"

Please tell me how to build nsis source code,give me exact steps what to do to compile nsis source code.

you need scons 1.x now if you are compiling code from svn, but the "Scons is not recognised as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file" command is a cmd.exe error message, meaning it can't find scons. the scons batch file is in the scripts subfolder (where you installed python) so run it with full path or add it to your path env

is it posible to show some other window above "unpacking data" window?

Thanks,

You probably don't want to build all the plug-ins so add the SKIPPLUGINS=all to the scons command line.

after that i have tried

C:\dev\nsis\nsis-2.45-src>scons MSTOOLKIT=yes SKIPPLUGINS=all -c LibraryLocal
i have also refered http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?postid=1787297 link but it still not works
then again execute scons MSTOOLKIT=yes SKIPPLUGINS=all ,but same error comes,

Please suggest a solution for this problem,

Thanks,
