Package: nsis
Version: 2.46-1
Severity: important
zlib compression does not work, i.e. it either truncates the
compressed file, or generate an error during installation.
Let be the following program, e.nsi:
OutFile toto.exe
Section f
File gtk2-runtime-2.16.0-2009-03-22-ash.exe
SectionEnd
The gtk2...exe file is taken from:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gtk-win/files/GTK%2B%20Runtime%20Environment/GTK%2B%202.16/gtk2-runtime-2.16.0-2009-03-22-ash.exe/download
and has about 6Mb.
Upon "makensis e.nsi", the toto.exe file is generated.
Now:
- if you execute toto.exe on a windows machine, then it generates a
gtk2-runtime-2.16.0-2009-03-22-ash.exe file much smaller (96kB),
which is not useful of course (it is truncated from the original)
- if you add "SetCompressor /SOLID zlib" at the beginning of e.nsi,
and execute toto.exe generated, you receive error upon execution
("Archive corrupted")
- if you add instead "SetCompressor /SOLID lzma" (or bzip2 instead of
lzma), everything works as expected.
So there is a problem with zlib compression. I suppose this is due to
debian patch to use system's zlib instead of nsis' one.
