[mkgmap-dev] NSIS Problems with 2G limit

Thu Apr 8 11:48:35 BST 2010

Ok, but I have no idea how to change the osmmap.nsi created by the
--nsis option of mkgmap, so that it did not include the .img's in the
installer exe directly.

Wouldn't it be usefull to have a small .exe installer in the same
directory of the img files that just installs them for windows users?

I am not a windows hacker and have no knowledge about the nsis system.
Maybe we could add some params to the --nsis option of mkgmap like:

--nsis=nodata

or something to avoid including the files in the exe directly.

After a mkgmap run with --nsis=nodata option a directory could contain
for example the following:

63240001.img
63240002.img
63240003.img
...
basemap.TYP
osmmap.img
osmmap_license.txt
osmmap_mdr.img
osmmap.mdx
osmmap.nsi
osmmap.tdb

After
makensis osmmap.nsi

there should be a small .exe file not including the imgs, but install
them from this directory by double clicking.

What do you think?
