+
+ \title Module nsis
+ \brief Provides Nullsoft Scriptable Install System support.
+
+ The \c nsis module contains properties and rules for building EXE installers
+ for Windows using the Nullsoft Scriptable Install System.
+
+ This module is only available on Windows.
+
+ \note A typical NSIS script includes an OutFile command to set the filename of the generated
+ installer executable. However, Qbs overrides any OutFile commands found in the script, and
+ therefore, you must use the targetName property to set the filename.
+
+ \section1 General Properties
+
+
+ \section2 defines
+
+ \table
+ \row \li \b{Type:} \li \c{stringList}
+ \row \li \b{Default:} \li \c{undefined}
+ \endtable
+
+ List of preprocessor macros that get passed to the compiler.
+ To set macro values, use the following syntax:
+ \code
+ cpp.defines: ["USE_COLORS=1", 'COLOR_STR="blanched almond"']
+ \endcode
+
+ \section2 disableConfig
+
+ \table
+ \row \li \b{Type:} \li \c{bool}
+ \row \li \b{Default:} \li \c{false}
+ \endtable
+
+ Whether to disable inclusion of nsisconf.nsh. Generally you do not need to set this property.
+
+ \section2 enableQbsDefines
+
+ \table
+ \row \li \b{Type:} \li \c{bool}
+ \row \li \b{Default:} \li \c{true}
+ \endtable
+
+ Whether to define preprocessor macros corresponding to values from the project and product
+ objects. When building a 64-bit package, the preprocessor variable \c{Win64} will also be
+ defined.
+
+ \section2 warningLevel
+
+ \table
+ \row \li \b{Type:} \li \c{string}
+ \row \li \b{Allowed Values:} \li \c{"none"}, \c{"normal"}, \c{"errors"},
+ \c{"warnings"}, \c{"info"}, \c{"all"}
+ \row \li \b{Default:} \li \c{"normal"}
+ \endtable
+
+ Severity of warnings to emit. The higher the level, the more warnings will be shown.
+ The levels \c{none}, \c{errors}, \c{warnings}, \c{info} and \c{all} correspond to NSIS
+ verbosity levels 0 through 4, inclusive. \c{normal} corresponds to the default level.
+
+ \section2 compilerFlags
+
+ \table
+ \row \li \b{Type:} \li \c{stringList}
+ \row \li \b{Default:} \li undefined
+ \endtable
+
+ Additional flags for the NSIS compiler.
+
+ \section2 compressor
+
+ \table
+ \row \li \b{Type:} \li \c{string}
+ \row \li \b{Allowed Values:} \li \c{"default"},
+ \c{"zlib"}, \c{"zlib-solid"},
+ \c{"bzip2"}, \c{"bzip2-solid"},
+ \c{"lzma"}, \c{"lzma-solid"}
+ \row \li \b{Default:} \li \c{"default"}
+ \row
+ \endtable
+
+ Compression algorithm used to compress files and data in the installer.
+ Setting this property overrides any SetCompressor command in the NSI file being compiled.
+
+ \section2 toolchainInstallPath
+
+ \table
+ \row \li \b{Type:} \li \c{path}
+ \row \li \b{Default:} \li determined automatically
+ \endtable
+
+ NSIS installation directory. Determined by searching known registry keys and
+ known installation paths until a match is found.
+ This should not normally need to be changed.
+
+ \section2 compilerName
+
+ \table
+ \row \li \b{Type:} \li \c{string}
+ \row \li \b{Default:} \li \c{"makensis.exe"}
+ \endtable
+
+ Name of the compiler binary. This should not normally need to be changed.
+
+ \section2 compilerPath
+
+ \table
+ \row \li \b{Type:} \li \c{string}
+ \row \li \b{Default:} \li \c{compilerName}
+ \endtable
+
+ Directory where the compiler binary is located. This should not normally need to be changed.
