To compile an nQuake installer, follow these steps:
- Download NSIS (http://nsis.sourceforge.net/) - version 2.x or v3.0+ doesn't matter.
- Copy/move the folders in the
include
folder toC:\Program Files (x86)\NSIS\
.
For NSIS v3.0+ you need to move the plugins (.dll files) to the "x86-ansi" subfolder of "Plugins". - Right-click the
nquake-installer_source.nsi
file and open with makensisw.exe.
Tips:
- Most of the code resides in
nquake-installer_source.nsi
but some code that is used often can be found innquake-macros.nsh
. - Edit the contents of the installer pages in the .ini files and their functions in the installer source file (e.g. Function DOWNLOAD for the download page).
If you decide to fork nQuake into your own installer, I would love to get some credit, but since this is GPL I can't force you :)
