How to build a plug-in

Hi,

Some time ago I created a plugin (IEFunctions, it's in the repository). Today I was looking at it again and I seem to be missing some files to be able to build it again (namely the files in NSISDIR\Contrib\ExDll)

Now it's been some time since I worked on this, but looking around I'm guessing they're part of the nsis-source, which aren't distributed in the installer anymore, so I guess I'll need to download the sources from sourceforge.

Still, I wonder how I ever succeeded in creating a plugin, since I can't seem to find any documentation about how to go about it. Can anyone tell me where I can find that information?

Thanks

There isn't really any documentation to my knowledge. You just need to read up in ExDll.c (which as you rightly said is only found in the source package).
It's a piece of cake really (unless you have no programming experience of course!)
