REBOL [ Library: [ Level: 'intermediate Platform: [windows] Type: [tool] Domain: [extension] Tested-under: [view 1.3.2.3.1 on "Windows XP SP2"] Support: none License: none See-also: none ] Author: "Arie van Wingerden" Date: 4-Sep-2006 Email: %xapwing--gmail--com File: %reb2exe.r Version: 1.0 Title: "Create .EXE from Rebol script + other files using NSIS." Purpose: "Create .EXE (with ICON) from Rebol script with optional extra scripts or datafiles using NSIS." Prerequisites: { 1. change the hardcoded lines in the PREPARE function in this script if needed 2. install NSIS from http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page } Description: { To create a .EXE file from e.g. the following files: SCR1.R SCR2.R SCR3.R SCR.ICO which are in directory: SCRDIR do the following: 1. open a command prompt 2. go to the directory SCRDIR 3. execute command: reb2exe.r SCR1 <rebol-cmdline-options> where rebol-cmdline-options can be "-s" or "-w -s" etc. After that in SCRDIR a file named SCR1.EXE can be found. } Notes: { 1. The first argument supplied to the start-script (e.g. SCR1.R) within the EXE file is the name of the directory in which the .EXE has been started 2. The second argument supplied to the start-script within the EXE file is the name of the EXE file (e.g.: SCR1.EXE) 3. All other arguments to the start-script within the EXE file are the commandline parameters specified by the user when (s)he invokes the .EXE file 4. The NSIS script named NSIS.NSI will be left intact in the target folder (together with the generated .EXE file) 5. Also a file called NSIS.LOG will be created and shown to the user } ] prepare: func [/local args][ ; Create a global object to contain all global variables g: make object!
