Install Makensis 3beta with homebrew

Hi

For a project, nodewebkit, multiplatform i need to use makensis 3beta to create an installer for windows. But i don't know how to install makensis 3beta with homebrew.
At the moment brew install makensis install the version 2.

Is there another way on my mac (later with travis) to install makensis 3beta using only shell command?

Thanks.

This is what I found. I don't know the exact state of homebrew on the current trunk but I doubt much has changed and you should be able to make it work if you follow these threads:

Thanks for replying but i'm not familliar with scons/homebrew atm.
I have read what you've linked but i don't see where they choose the version, they seem to use 2.xx in both posts.

I don't own any Apple products so I cannot really help you with Homebrew but I do know that all the fixes discussed in those threads have been applied to v3.

You will have to ask the Homebrew people how to build from NSIS trunk...

The attached formular might be a good starting point, but I couldn't get it to work. It currently exits with the following error:

Please specify folder of zlib for Win32 via ZLIB_W32

You need to place it inside /usr/local/Library/Formula/
