NSIS is required for build #57

QGC can not compile without NSIS in windows. This would be a nice information in the "getting started" section. It can be downloaded at: https://sourceforge.net/projects/nsis/

That should only be required if you are building an installer. For the majority of users it is not needed. Are you finding that to not be true?

holmnikolaj commented 5 years ago

Yes I am. However for those who wants an installer it would be helpful information.

@hamishwillee I don't think there are any docs on building an installer for QGC. That is done by adding CONFIG+=installer to the qmake build. And on Window syou need to install NSIS.

hamishwillee commented 5 years ago

@DonLakeFlyer No their aren't. My QT is rusty - to do this you'd just update qgroundcontrol.pro as shown right? I'm STILL downloading Qt to test this.

# Installer targets

CONFIG+=installer

include(QGCInstaller.pri)

You change it in Qt Creator: Projects -> Build -> Build Steps -> qmake -> Additional arguments screen shot 2019-01-18 at 10 14 10 am
