What's happening with nselib-bin? I ask because I see it's now static linked, and I'm seeing some build and runtime errors because of this change. Specifically, mswin32/Release/nselib-bin (created by a post build event in nse_bitlib.vcproj) is referenced in mswin32/makefile and because it doesn't exist, halts the build. Next, mswin32/nsi/nmap.nsi references nselib-bin and fails when it's not present. During script execution: SCRIPT ENGINE: error while initializing Lua State: 'nselib-bin/' not a directory
Thanks for these reports. We were keeping the directory around while we made sure the static linking worked, but it's gone now (I just removed it). There are two files left that refer to newlib-bin. I haven't removed the references from them because I don't have a Windows machine right now and I can't test the changes. In mswin32/nsis/Nmap.nsi I removed the line that installed the nselib-bin directory, however I left in the lines that remove it on uninstallation. The reason for that is I worried that the C:\Program Files\Nmap directory wouldn't be fully removed when upgrading and the installer would get a message that it's unsafe to install. I would appreciate it if someone could try it out. Remove the lines that say RMDir /r "$INSTDIR\nselib-bin" and try running the installer with the C:\Program Files\Nmap\nselib-bin directory present. mswin32/nmap.sln still refers to nse_bitlib and nselib-bin. It's probably safest to edit that file with Visual Studio.
