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
