These scripts are used to generate an installer for the drivers and programs that are useful in a Windows guest using SPICE. Currently this includes spice-vdagent (for copy and paste support among lots of other things), the QXL video driver and the vioserial driver (which vdagent needs). This script installs these progams/drivers and then makes sure they are started up/picked up correctly by Windows. This script needs to have the various binaries/drivers it will install available, they are not included in this archive. The various 'File' directives in win-guest-tools.nsis should give you an idea of the directory tree the script expects. There are some rough notes about this in INSTALL as well. To build the final installer, I'm using the mingw32-nsis package from http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MinGW/CrossCompilerFramework#Development_and_testing_repository (but this should be available directly from the official Fedora repositories starting with Fedora 17 or 18). This also needs NSIS Simple Service plugin from http://nsis.sourceforge.net/NSIS_Simple_Service_Plugin . The dll it ships must be in NSIS plugin path, for example /usr/share/nsis/Plugins/ on my Fedora machine. Once this is installed, all that is needed is to run makensis ./win-guest-tools.nsi from your Linux box, and magic will happen!
