Hi,

mkgmap with -Dfile.encoding=ISO8859_15 and makensis with -INPUTCHARSET
OEM work with no problem.

$ file 20000000.nsi
20000000.nsi: BSD makefile script, ISO-8859 text

$ makensis -INPUTCHARSET OEM -V3 20000000.nsi

BaseCamp just doesn't like the .exe. No change.

Hi,

I think the problem is that mkgmap doesn't work properly when started in
an environment with something like -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8.
The --nsis option will probably produce a scrambled file in that situation.
I guess we can change this in the same way as with the last patch from
Mike Baggaley, but I have no idea if that would cause new trouble for
others.
So, as a work around, I suggest to run mkgmap with something like
-Dfile.encoding=ISO8859_15 . This should produce a *.nsi file which is
not utf-8.
If makensis with /INPUTCHARSET OEM or whatever it accepts.
