Exclude LZMA

[JustinLane]

If I compile an installer with zlib compression, does the binary output (install.exe) contain the LZMA decompression code even though it will not be used?

I ask as a client's legal department is stating that even with the license exception there are commercial distribution obligations of the LZMA binaries. I as a developer cannot see how this is the case given the wording but then I only deal in 1's and 0's.

My other option is to build the code from SVN without the LZMA code included. I then will have to deal with Legal on that matter as I would have potentially modified the NSIS code unless there is a config/makefile option to exclude it anyway.

Any help would be appreciated as I now may have to recode the installer in something else.

Thanks,
Justin...

Makensis.exe contains code for all compression modes but the generated installer only contains code for one combination of zlib/bzip/lzma, solid/non-solid and ansi/unicode. You can see all of the base stubs in ...\NSIS\Stubs (12 in total for NSIS 3.0 32-bit)

The scons script also supports building only some of the stubs...
