    \title Module nsis
    \brief Provides Nullsoft Scriptable Install System support.

    The \c nsis module contains properties and rules for building EXE installers
    for Windows using the Nullsoft Scriptable Install System.

    This module is only available on Windows.

    \note A typical NSIS script includes an OutFile command to set the filename of the generated
    installer executable. However, Qbs overrides any OutFile commands found in the script, and
    therefore, you must use the targetName property to set the filename.

    \section1 General Properties


    \section2 defines

    \table
    \row    \li \b{Type:}            \li \c{stringList}
    \row    \li \b{Default:}         \li \c{undefined}
    \endtable

    List of preprocessor macros that get passed to the compiler.
    To set macro values, use the following syntax:
    \code
    cpp.defines: ["USE_COLORS=1", 'COLOR_STR="blanched almond"']
    \endcode

    \section2 disableConfig

    \table
    \row    \li \b{Type:}            \li \c{bool}
    \row    \li \b{Default:}         \li \c{false}
    \endtable

    Whether to disable inclusion of nsisconf.nsh. Generally you do not need to set this property.

    \section2 enableQbsDefines

    \table
    \row    \li \b{Type:}            \li \c{bool}
    \row    \li \b{Default:}         \li \c{true}
    \endtable

    Whether to define preprocessor macros corresponding to values from the project and product
    objects. When building a 64-bit package, the preprocessor variable \c{Win64} will also be
    defined.

    \section2 warningLevel

    \table
    \row    \li \b{Type:}            \li \c{string}
    \row    \li \b{Allowed Values:}  \li \c{"none"}, \c{"normal"}, \c{"errors"},
                                         \c{"warnings"}, \c{"info"}, \c{"all"}
    \row    \li \b{Default:}         \li \c{"normal"}
    \endtable

    Severity of warnings to emit. The higher the level, the more warnings will be shown.
    The levels \c{none}, \c{errors}, \c{warnings}, \c{info} and \c{all} correspond to NSIS
    verbosity levels 0 through 4, inclusive. \c{normal} corresponds to the default level.

    \section2 compilerFlags

    \table
    \row    \li \b{Type:}            \li \c{stringList}
    \row    \li \b{Default:}         \li undefined
    \endtable

    Additional flags for the NSIS compiler.

    \section2 compressor

    \table
    \row    \li \b{Type:}            \li \c{string}
    \row    \li \b{Allowed Values:}  \li \c{"default"},
                                         \c{"zlib"}, \c{"zlib-solid"},
                                         \c{"bzip2"}, \c{"bzip2-solid"},
                                         \c{"lzma"}, \c{"lzma-solid"}
    \row    \li \b{Default:}         \li \c{"default"}
    \row
    \endtable

    Compression algorithm used to compress files and data in the installer.
    Setting this property overrides any SetCompressor command in the NSI file being compiled.

    \section2 toolchainInstallPath

    \table
    \row    \li \b{Type:}            \li \c{path}
    \row    \li \b{Default:}         \li determined automatically
    \endtable

    NSIS installation directory. Determined by searching known registry keys and
    known installation paths until a match is found.
    This should not normally need to be changed.

    \section2 compilerName

    \table
    \row    \li \b{Type:}            \li \c{string}
    \row    \li \b{Default:}         \li \c{"makensis.exe"}
    \endtable

    Name of the compiler binary. This should not normally need to be changed.

    \section2 compilerPath

    \table
    \row    \li \b{Type:}            \li \c{string}
    \row    \li \b{Default:}         \li \c{compilerName}
    \endtable

    Directory where the compiler binary is located. This should not normally need to be changed.
