Install with yay now requires mingw-w64-gcc-base as a dependency.

scons 3.0.0-3 switched back to python 2.7. I successfully built nsis with the official package.

The print statements are not the only incompatibility. Running 2to3 over the build scripts did not fix all of the issues either. In fact, I was unable to build the package with Scons 3. Even with SCons built against Python 2.7, the build scripts were still invoked with Python 3 and blew up. I had to revert to SCons 2.5.1. Since this is no longer available as an Arch package, I had to build it myself: 1. Download the PKGBUILD from https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/plain/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/scons 2. Change pkgver to 2.5.1 3. Change the "python" command in package() to "python2" 4. Run "makepkg --skipchecksums --install" This replaces the installed scons package with the older version, and the nsis package gets built successfully. Until the NSIS build packages get fixed, maybe the PKGBUILD could download SCons 2.5.1, build it to a temporary location and use that instead of a system-wide scons command.

Seems that SCons breaks Python2 style print statements in SCons 3.0.0. They fixed it in https://github.com/SConsProject/scons/commit/2e0de3 . So either build SCons from git until they release 3.0.1, or change all lines with print statements in the NSIS SCons files to use the print function instead.

I'm getting an error: scons: Reading SConscript files ... File "../nsis/src/nsis-3.01-src/SCons/utils.py", line 30 print 'Please specify folder of zlib for Win32 via ZLIB_W32' SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'

I got it to work. I removed mingw-w64-{zlib,gcc,...}, then tried nsis again and it runs through. So perhaps it was some necessary to rebuild mingw-w64-zlib like you said..

okay, i've now installed it on a different 64bit archlinux machine and it builds and installs without problem. i will have a look what the difference is. consider this not your problem for now - and sorry for the noise.

could you try reinstalling mingw-w64-zlib, maybe it should be rebuilt after the gcc update. or else, could you try install mingw-w64-bzip2 ?

xantares commented on 2016-11-04 21:41 (UTC)

that's ok, I have no libzdll.a neither
