Here is a compiler example for NSIS (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System) using ".\build" as default - destination directory where the .exe is/should be created:

###############################################
# ---------- NSIS configuration ----------
# --- general --------------------------------------
# $P - project name
# $Pp - path to project directory
# $Pn - project name
# --- compile --------------------------------------
# $I - input full name
# $Ip - input path
# $In - input name
# $Ie - input extension
# $O - output file
# $Op - path to output file
# $On - output filename (without path)
# $Oe - output extension
# $R - release/debug setting for compiler
# --- build ----------------------------------------
# $T - target full name
# $Tp - target path
# $Tn - target name
# $O - output file
# $Op - path to output file
# $On - output filename (without path)
# $Oe - output extension
# $R - release/debug setting for linker
