I have a swing application running perfectly fine on Linux. The application depends on third party libraries. Now I want to create an installation package of this application, for windows. I am using Launch4j and NSIS for this.
The third party libraries are in a folder(106MB size). When I am trying to create a package by running makensis command,it never completes (I have to abort it explicitly).
To resolve this, I thought of using ZipDll plugin of NSIS. But when I try to zip this third party library folder, I get warning name not matched for all the contents of the folder and this also goes on(infinite loop), never completes (again I have to forcefully abort it).
.tar.gz works fine but then ZipDll plugin is not able to extract from .tar.gz.
What should I look for in this case? Does NSIS restrict on the size of folders? Why does zipping goes into infinite loop with that warning (I looked into many similar posts related to this warning, but nothing could resolve this)? Is there any NSIS plugin which can extract from .tar.gz folder? The third party library folder contains many sub-folders each having .sdf.gz files in it.
Thank you for the help. The problem was with the directory structure. It had few soft links which linked to other computer and was trying to package everything there(infinite loop). I got it fixed. The problem was not with NSIS
