[Bf-committers] Trying to build the PACKAGE.vcxproj using VS 2013

[Martijn Berger]

Hi Tom,

The package target is actually intended to build a package ( defaults to an
NSIS based installer for blender).
It might need the Nullsoft scriptable installer (NSIS) in the PATH variable
so it can find it.  I am in the process of making this thing actually work
an would very much like to help you get it working.
It might in this context be advisable for you to get onto irc.freenode /
#blendercoder so we can have a lower latency higher fidelity conversation
about this.
