NSIS and Debug/Release Builds

Hi

I am using a user created variable to simulate Debug/Release builds with additional information that I don't want the user to see.

// Main section:

  ;;;;; Are we in DEBUG mode?

  Var /GLOBAL _DEBUGMODE

  StrCpy $_DEBUGMODE 1

  ;;;;; /Are we in DEBUG mode?

  Push $_DEBUGMODE

  Call funct



// Function funct residing in a .nsh file

  Pop $4

  IntCmp $4 1 0 +2

  DetailPrint "DEBUG: funct: ERROR: error message goes here!"

  ; Carry on

Is there an easier way?

I think that you can do:

!define FORDEBUG
...
!ifdef FORDEBUG
MessageBox MB_OK "FORDEBUG: Blah"
!endif

Defines can be done on command line too.

The !define will propagate through all the lines, including external files, correct?

Correct.

Thank you, I'll give it a try.

Thanks pospec, it works.
