Description Dennis Schridde 2009-03-22 16:23:18 UTC

dev-util/nsis currently requires a compiler for a target out of either mingw32, i686-mingw32, i586-mingw32, i486-mingw32, i386-mingw32.

I have i686-pc-mingw32 installed, and GCC itself says valid MinGW targets are *-*-mingw32. (ref: http://gcc.gnu.org/install/specific.html#x-x-mingw32)

I thus propose that dev-util/nsis should also allow *-*-mingw32 as a valid target.

Reproducible: Always

Actually nsis build system supports only these variants:
    mingw32
    mingw32msvc
    i386-mingw32
    i486-mingw32
    i586-mingw32
    i686-mingw32
    i386-mingw32msvc
    i486-mingw32msvc
    i586-mingw32msvc
    i686-mingw32msvc
    i386-pc-mingw32
    i486-pc-mingw32
    i586-pc-mingw32
    i686-pc-mingw32

Fixed in nsis-2.44 (w/o revbump) by adding i{3,4,5,6}86-pc-mingw32 to the supported mingw32 variants.
