NSIS: Nullsoft Scriptable Install System / Bugs / #1201 The configurator ignores the PATH

Jason - 2017-12-31

See the command lines for the stubs?

x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc -o build/urelease/stub_bzip2-x86-unicode/Main.o -c -Os ...

You're using a 64bit compiler to compile 32bit stubs.

This line is also wrong:

ZLIB_W32=/opt/xbb/x86_64-w64-mingw32

It should point to a windows specific zlib library. The easy way to fix that is to add zip2exe to the SKIPUTILS variable on the command line: SKIPUTILS='NSIS Menu','zip2exe' (don't use wrapping quotes).

yes, you are probably right, but the reported problem is different.

do you see the following:

+ gcc --version gcc (GCC) 7.2.0 Copyright (C) 2017 Free Software Foundation, Inc. This is free software; see the source for copying conditions. There is NO warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

this was an explicit command I added to the script before starting scons.

later on, in exactly the same environment, the configurator displays:

g++ --version g++ (GCC) 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-18)

I have no idea how this happens, but if the configurator ignores the PATH and searches only the system folders, it cannot work properly in my environment, since the system folders are from a very old CentOS 6, and all the new tools are in /opt/xbb/bin:/opt/xbb-bootstrap/bin.

I think that is just how SCons works. We have a SCons parameter called PATH you can try. There are also overrides for TOOLSET, CC and CXX. Run SCons -H to see these options.

are you sure -H is the magic option to see the parameters?

Sorry, must be -h then, I always mix them up.

in my setup, scons -h shows the same as scons -H:

  -h works for me but my SCons is old. You can see our options in the root SConstruct file. Those option descriptions are passed to the SCons Help() function but perhaps the way you activate Help has changed.

  These are NSIS specific options, but you're not running scons -h or scons -H in the NSIS source code folder. Other projects may add their own options, so it won't work otherwise. You will only see our specific options when you run those commands in the NSIS source code folder.

I'm using the latest scons.

The options start from about line 153 in Sconstruct, just as reference.
