NSIS compiler and parameters

Question

How can I set some variables in my nsis script in compile time? for example:

makensis.exe myscript.nsi "buildversion"

I want to set buildversion in my script during compile time. Thanks!

Answer 1

makensis -Dbuildversion=1.2.3.4 myscript.nsi

-D sets a !define, not a variable ( ${adefine}, $avariable ) and you have to get the order of -D and the script correct...
