Bug#319999: nsis: Invalid command: System::Call
severity 31 normal tag 31 + help confirmed thanks (not) for the non-free build-dep nsis authors ;) Greg Hazel wrote: when compiling a script with System::Call I get: Invalid command: System::Call and the makensis process aborts. This script compiles fine with NSIS on windows. docs for System are at: http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Docs/System/System.html Unfortunately, the System plugin cannot be compiled on debian, because it requires Microsoft's non-free C compiler for the MS inline assembly in the source files. If you send a patch to convert all the inline assembly to the format understood by GCC (I have very little knowledge of assembly and no knowledge of either inline assembly format), I will add in the #ifdef's necessary for compilation on both MSVC and GCC and submit it upstream. I don't know if upstream would accept such a patch - they may or may not be able to maintain GCC inline assembly. This is also explained in the README.Debian in version 2.07-1 (not recommended - see 319929) and 2.08-1 (on mentors.debian, but not yet in experimental). Upstream know about this issue, but I don't think it is a high priority for them. A workaround is to download the binary file from upstream, or in the source package for 2.06-6 (2.07-1 and later do not have precompiled files in the source) and place it in /usr/share/nsis/Plugins/. -- bye, pabs http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=Paul+Wisecomaint=yes signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
