    129129     *  For information on the NSIS installer, visit the [http://nsis.sourceforge.net NSIS website].[[BR]]
    130130    * Download the [http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Nsisunz_plug-in nsisunz plugin], and extract `nsisunz.dll` into the `Plugins` directory of your NSIS installation.
    131     * Download [http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/pidgin/gtk-2.14.7-rev-a-installer.tar.gz?download gtk-2.14.7-rev-a-installer.tar.gz]
    132       and extract it to `$PIDGIN_DEV_ROOT/`. From within the new `gtk_installer directory`, run `. build.sh` (this builds the GTK+ runtime installer, which the Pidgin installer will include). **Please see [#CrossCompiling note below] if building on Ubuntu/Debian about modification of the build.sh file.
    133131    * Download [/static/win32/pidgin-inst-deps-20100223.tar.gz pidgin-inst-deps-20100223.tar.gz] and extract it to `$PIDGIN_DEV_ROOT/win32-dev`.
    134132  * Now you can actually build the installer.[[BR]]

    190188  If your distribution doesn't include a recent enough win32api, you can download it from the [http://www.mingw.org/ MinGW site], extract it into your `win32-dev` directory, and override the `INCLUDE_PATHS` and `LIB_PATHS` variables in your `local.mak` as I have done.
    191 
    192   If you want to build the installers, you'll need to install [#BuildthePidginInstaller NSIS].  On Debian and Ubuntu, the package name is `nsis`; this will likely be different elsewhere.  In order to build the GTK+ installer as mentioned above, the `build.sh` script referenced above needs to be changed.  The line starting with `makensis.exe` needs to be changed to read:
    193 {{{
    194 #!sh
    195 makensis -V3 -DGTK_VERSION=$gtk_version -DGTK_REVISION=$gtk_revision gtk-installer.nsi
    196 }}}
    197189
    198190      NSIS version 2.46 or greater is required to cross-compile.  If compiling NSIS from source, the [http://www.scons.org/ scons] package is a dependency.  This can usually be installed through your linux distribution's package archive.  An example of how to install the NSIS package is given below (Assuming use of the NSIS 2.46 version):
