makensis: Compile a NSIS script in strict mode (treat warnings as errors).

makensis

$ makensis -WX ${filename-nsi}

try on your machine

The command "makensis" is used to run the Nullsoft Scriptable Install System (NSIS) compiler, which is a tool commonly used to create Windows installers.

In the given command, "-WX" is an option passed to the "makensis" command. This option enables treating warnings as errors during the compilation process. When this option is specified, any warnings generated by the compiler will be treated as errors, causing the compilation to fail.

"${filename-nsi}" is a placeholder for the filename of the NSIS script file. It is expected to be replaced with the actual filename and extension of the script file to be compiled. The "-nsi" extension is generally used for NSIS script files, but it can vary depending on the convention used in your project.

To use this command, you would need to replace "${filename-nsi}" with the actual filename and extension of your NSIS script file, ensuring that the script file is present in the current working directory. Then, when the command is executed, the NSIS compiler will compile the specified script file, treating any warnings as errors.
