How to support usage of system.dll plug-in when building on Linux machines?

I am using NSIS for building Windows Installers on Linux machines. Actually I am learning it on a Windows machine.

Today I read information about Linux Installation/Building on Posix and spotted this in NSIS Help-Appendix G.3:

Quote:
Currently, the System plug-in can't be built using a cross-compiler, but only with MSVC.

Problem:
I am using the powerful system.dll plug-in to call an external DLL. I need to pass parameters to that call as well.

my code:
;new syntax for system.dll plug-in
System::Call '$2::Prompt(t r1, t r3, t .r4) i .r5'

My question: What is the most up-to-date way to solve this problem or just a workaround. Best would be another DLL call method??? My search in Forum led not to many answers. Please provide link to thread or to NSIS-Wiki.

Thanks in advance...

there is no problem.

you can build any installer on posix.

you just can't build the system.dll from source itself!

Thanks you very much. This is very important for my plans with NSIS.

Will you consider support System plugin under cross compile?
It is very important so that we can create a compete package under linux.

Maybe a new MiniSystem plugin can be created, that does not have all the features of System plugins, but can be crossed compiled?

Thanks!

It's not a simple task at all. Creating a minimal version without the problematic parts won't help, because those are the essential parts. See pabs' work for details.

To create a complete package under linux, simply download the zip version to complete it.

Thanks for the reference, I did not find it.
Maybe I will be able to help.
