NSISWrapper is a helper program for making Windows installers, particularly when you are cross-compiling from Unix. NSIS (a separate package) is a program for building Windows installers. This wrapper simply makes it easier to generate the installer script that NSIS needs. You can get NSIS itself from http://nsis.sourceforge.net/ but generally speaking this wrapper is only useful when cross-compiling (run from a Linux machine) in which case you should use the Fedora or Debian version of NSIS from: Fedora: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MinGW Debian: http://packages.debian.org/unstable/devel/nsis ---------------------------------------------------------------------- NSISWrapper requires a reasonably recent version of Perl. You will also need to install the MinGW cross-compiler binutils (mingw32-binutils package). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For usage instructions, please refer to the manual page nsiswrapper(1). If for some reason the manual page isn't installed then you can do this instead: nsiswrapper --man For help with NSIS itself, please refer to the NSIS website. You can also get quick command line help by doing: nsiswrapper --help ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright (C) 2008 Red Hat Inc.
