A macro calling a macro is invalid?

[nsnb]

Being purist that I am, I use the following technique to implement a single function for both install and uninstall sections, without writing it twice:

PHP Code:

!macro MACROFUNC un0
Function ${un0}MyFunc
  # NSIS code that works perfectly well.
FunctionEnd
!macroend
!insertmacro MACROFUNC ""
!insertmacro MACROUNFUNC "un." 


Calling MyFunc and un.MyFunc from a script works perfectly, if it is a direct call:

PHP Code:

  Push "somestring"
  call MyFunc 


However, when I try to further "macrosize" the above by:

PHP Code:

!macro MACRO_INST param
  Push ${param}
  call MyFunc
!macroend 


So that I can call the function in a single line:

PHP Code:

MACRO_INST "somestring" 


NSIS compiler fails with an error:

Invalid command: MACRO_INST

What am I doing wrong? What am I missing?

Thanks.

you need to call the macro properly..

PHP Code:

!insertmacro MACRO_INST "somthing" 


To make it easier to read, make a define:

PHP Code:

!define MACRO_INST "!insertmacro MACRO_INST"
${MACRO_INST} "somthing"

OK, the following does work:

PHP Code:

!insertmacro MACRO_INST "somestring" 


as documented in the manual.

I forgot the !insertmacro. Sorry for the false alarm.
