nsis 2.28-1: missing symbols in System.dll plugin

[Régis Desgroppes]

Binary package hint: nsis

Hi,

I recently upgraded from feisty to gutsy. Among other improvements, the nsis package (2.28-1) now provides a System.dll plugin that was missing in former version (2.19-1.1). However, some expected symbols are not exported.

Here are the symbols exported by the Windows version of the plugin:
Alloc : also present in Ubuntu package provided plugin
Call : missing
Copy : present
Free : present
Get : missing
Int640p : present
Store : present

Would it be possible to provide a System.dll plugin exporting the same symbols as the Windows version one?

Best regards,
Regis.

There is some discussion in this thread:
http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?postid=1846811#post1846811

It refers to the debian package and which a bug report is available here:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=319999

There is the need of some help upstream for this to be fixed. Especially... the need is for someone to translate Intel asm to AT&T asm. If someone can pitch in and carry on from the attached patched which I found in the forum and am storing here just in case it gets lost.

This bug was fixed in the package nsis - 2.43-1
