ifdef and langstrings

[oborstad]

Hi All,

Is there a way to tell if a string has been defined for a language? I'm trying to to something like:


test.nsh:

code:
!ifndef $(error_message)

  LangString error_message ${LANG_ENGLISH} "My generic error message"

!endif



function test

MessageBox MB_OK ${error_message

functionend

main.nsi

code:
!include test.nsh

LangString error_message ${LANG_ENGLISH} "Override message"

...

call test

but anything I've come up with so far only results in either a warning message in the compiler of:
LangString "..." set multiple times for 1033, wasting space (...)

when I test it out, it seems to work as long as I put the message I want before the include (since it ignores the second one)... but I would rather not see the warning. I've looked through the source for NSIS and through the examples, and plugins, etc... but haven't really found anything like this...

Thanks!
