I have installed scons and cross-compiler on my linux machine. I have downloaded NSIS source also. But when i go to the NSIS extract directory and say scons, It is throwing errors.

Here is the error after i type :: scons APPEND_CPPPATH=/usr/local/cross-tools/include/

=====================

gcc -o build/release/AdvSplash/advsplash.o -c -Os -Wall -fno-strict-aliasing -I/usr/local/cross-tools/include Contrib/AdvSplash/advsplash.c

Looks like your cross-compiler isn't MinGW compatible. You can build just makensis and copy the plug-ins from a released version as suggested in the documentation.
