Hello, I've been trying to build the NSIS installer, so that I can install only the headers for the libraries that I need. Please bear in mind that I don't have much experience with either CPack or NSIS, but I'm still trying to debug the issue...
I'm getting the error output below when I run "CPack -G NSIS" ---------------------------------------- Goto: accumulators_headers_unchanged !insertmacro: Select_accumulators_headers_depends SectionGetFlags: 127->$0 IntOp: $0=$0|1 SectionSetFlags: 127->$0 IntOp: $parameter_headers_selected=0+1 warning: unknown variable/constant "{python_headers}" detected, ignoring (macro:Select_accumulators_headers_depends:5) SectionGetFlags: ${python_headers}->$0 IntOp: $0=$0|1 warning: unknown variable/constant "{python_headers}" detected, ignoring (macro:Select_accumulators_headers_depends:7) SectionSetFlags: ${python_headers}->$0 Usage: IntOp $(user_var: result) val1 OP [val2] OP=(+ - * / % | & ^ ~ ! || && << >>) Error in macro Select_accumulators_headers_depends on macroline 8 Error in macro MaybeSelectionChanged on macroline 14 Error in macro SectionList on macroline 4 Error in script "C:/cygdir/builds/boost/_CPack_Packages/win32/NSIS/project.nsi" on line 32365 -- aborting creation process ---------------------------------------- If I edit the project.nsi to include the following declarations: ... Var python_headers_selected Var python_headers_was_installed ... and run the command manually ("C:/.../NSIS/makensis.exe" "C:/.../_CPack_Packages/win32/NSIS/project.nsi") it creates the Boost-1.40.0-vc8.exe file. Although it produces several warning messages posted at the end of this message. Now, I still have problems because when I run the installer it can't "download" the packages... I suppose that this is because the cpack process is not complete (note that if I run cpack again it overwrites the changes to the project.nsi and bails out with error again). So, I guess my question is how do I go about solving this? What variable in the boost cmake files creates the dependency on the python_headers_* variables in the CPack/NSIS process? Any help debugging this will be greatly appreciated. --Miguel ---------------------------------------- Processing pages... Done! Removing unused resources... Done! Generating language tables...
