Need help generating makensis in Linux

I'm trying to follow the documentation that comes with NSIS 2.28 to generate an installer in Linux, but am not having much luck...

First, I installed SCONS v0.96.93 as specified in NSIS documentation. Then I installed NSIS v.2.28-src and tried to compile a 'makensis' file according to page G3 of the NSIS doc.

Running the two scons commands NSIS suggests works, but no STUBS folder gets generated so running 'makensis install <nsi_filename>' doesn't work, because no compression is available. I presume I need to create the makensis file using the standard 'scons install-compiler' command without any exclusions...

My first questions is, is gcc a valid cross compiler?
If so, when I try running 'makensis install-compiler' I get an error that suggest that the SConstruct file provided by NSIS is improperly formatted...

Does anyone have a working makensis binary for linux?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

gcc is not s cross-copmiler so you can't build the stubs with it. As G3 says, you need to install the newly compiled makensis into a pre-built folder extracted from the ZIP'ed version of NSIS.
