makensis: Compile a NSIS script.

makensis

$ makensis ${filename-nsi}

try on your machine

The command "makensis ${filename-nsi}" is written in a scripting language or command line interface and is likely used to execute the "makensis" program with a particular input file.

Here is an explanation of each component in the command:

"makensis": This is the name or path of the executable program called "makensis." It is typically a compiler or builder program for creating Microsoft Windows Installer packages.
"${filename-nsi}": This is a variable placeholder that represents the name of the input file for the "makensis" program. The variable is likely enclosed in curly brackets or an equivalent symbol specific to the scripting language or command line interface being used.

The use of "${filename-nsi}" suggests that the actual value of the file name is being substituted at runtime, using the value stored in the "filename-nsi" variable. The value could be assigned elsewhere in the script or provided as an argument when running the script.

Overall, this command is likely used to run the "makensis" program and pass it the specified input file, allowing the program to perform whatever actions or operations are defined within the input file.
