PCSX2 NSIS Installer Instructions
|
|
-------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
* Install NSIS (tested with 2.45)
|
|
* Install NSIS Script: Advanced Uninstall Log (you can find it on NSIS wiki)
|
|
|
|
* Download the Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable and save it to this nsis/ folder under the name:
|
|
vcredist_2008_sp1_x86.exe
|
|
|
|
* Download the Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable and save it to this nsis/ folder.
|
|
vcredist_2010_x86.exe
|
|
|
|
[both files can be obtained from Microsoft's website, just google for them]
|
|
|
|
* Download the DirectX Web Installer (vcwebsetup.exe) from Microsoft's website and save it to
|
|
this nsis/ folder. (currently required, might be made optional later). No name change is
|
|
required.
|
|
|
|
* Load the PCSX2 Suite solution and rebuild all in the following targets:
|
|
* Release SSE2
|
|
* Release SSSE3 (only needed if packaging plugins)
|
|
* Release SSE4 (only needed if packaging plugins)
|
|
* Devel (optional)
|
|
|
|
You may selectively unload plugins you do not wish to package prior to running the NSIS
|
|
script.
|
|
|
|
* Compile script! Output executable will be generated to the output/ folder.
|

|
|
Compilation Targets and Plugin Inclusion
|
|
--------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The installer will include plugins only if they are present. If you do not build plugins, or
|
|
remove some (or all) plugins before running the nsis script, only PCSX2 and whatever remaining
|
|
plugins will be packaged.
|
|
|
|
GSdx SSE2, SSSE3, and SSE4 versions are all included into the installer *if* they are present.
|
|
You will need to follow the above instructions and compile all release targets to get all the
|
|
GSdx DLLs.

Recommendations to Developers
|
|
--------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
From Air: I use Eclipse to edit NSIS scripts. Do a google search for 'nsis eclipse' and it
|
|
should take you to the NSIS wiki with instructions on how to set up a NSIS environment in
|
|
Eclipse. This typically only takes me a few minutes (yes it's really that painless). Via
|
|
Eclipse you can use F2 and F3 for online help and context help on NSIS commands, and the syntax
|
|
highlighting is very clean and NSIS-specific. Additionally it'll give you Visual Studio-style
|
|
hyperlinks for errors during compilation, so that you can simply click on an error and be taken
|
|
right to the offending line of code. Highly recommended! :)

|
TODO / Wish List!!
|
|
--------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
* pcsx2-dev should probably be an optional section, conditionally scripted only if the
|
|
file is present at compilation time, and packaged.
