MinGW Issue

Submitted by MeisBarry on October 20, 2007 - 1:18pm

I've recently been using g95 to compile fortran programs. G95 requires MinGW and its libraries. The install g95 installer comes packaged with MinGW, and also an option to install g95 into a preexisting MinGW installation. Installing it on my home computer works fine, and I can compile without any trouble.

I want to start playing around with NSIS, so I downloaded NSIS Portable and downloaded the latest version of NSIS. While I was poking around on their Wiki, I found information about integrating NSIS with Notepad++. I thought, "Perfect!"

However, when I read the instructions, step two says "Verify that makensis.exe is in your environmental user path." How would I do this with portable versions of these programs? Is it possible?

I tried entering the full path to makensis.exe in step three, but that didn't seem to work.

I saw he sent me sth then read it. I continued writing... Ane the same problem - I didn't receive message - but window was blinkin'!
Unfortunately, that problem affects everyone from my list.
