Trying to use makensis on linux

I followed these "instructions" to get nsis working under linux (I know it's probably not supported, but it seems to be mostly working).

I am getting a weird warning that I don't see when runing makensis under Windows though. Here's a snippet of my nsi file.



# Installer functions

Function .onInit

    InitPluginsDir

    !insertmacro IsUserAdmin $0

    StrCpy $Administrator $0

    ${Select} $0

      ${Case} "1"

        StrCpy $INSTDIR "$%PROGRAMFILES%\$(^Name)"

        SetShellVarContext all

      ${Case} "0"

        StrCpy $INSTDIR "$%USERPROFILE%\$(^Name)"

    ${EndSelect}

FunctionEnd
The warnings are:
unknown variable/constant "%PROGRAMFILES%\$(^Name)" detected, ignoring (/Project/installer.nsi:182)
unknown variable/constant "%USERPROFILE%\$(^Name)" detected, ignoring (/Project/installer.nsi:185)

Windows environment variables aren't available on Linux. You've used $%PROGRAMFILES% which is the path to Program Files on your computer instead of $PROGRAMFILES which is the path on the user's computer.
