Windows Installers

GNU Make. ugh

To compile this script as is, you'll need to setup a MinGW environment

I tried that a while ago but the only installer I can find is an online one and I don't have the internet on my primary computer.

EDIT: What I want to do is make the installer work independent of any outside tools. What will be needed, as far as I can tell, will be a header file with all the symbols defined. Then you should be able to use the scripts with a copy of warzone compiled with a Microsoft compiler.

This isn't a MS installer, it is NSIS.
You use that tool to make the installer...don't need MSVC at all.

I guess the issue is not about nsis but with:

a header file with all the symbols defined.

with those ${TOP_SCRDIR} and such...which are bundled in .win32 MinGW scripts..

I'm making a simple zip with all dependencies included to d/l, compile and run the latest svn/trunk, no installation needed... but I'd like someone to remove the zlib source from libphysfs, and link zl instead as stated in another thread...

Well I have made a workable installer for a portable version. It's a a little simplistic as far as the included launcher is concerned but as long as you have nsis and Warzone 2100 2.3 b11 installed you can try it out.

The launcher is written in Autoit (of course) and all it does is set the config directory switch and pass all options it receives through, so if this was to be distributed a better launcher would be nice.

To compile the script: make sure Warzone is installed with all localizations and default mods, then copy the contents of the installer directory directly into your warzone directory. After these two steps you should be able to compile the .nsi script.
