Scilab 5 on Solaris

[Simone Mannori]

Bonjour,

if you try to compile under Solaris, please check:

1) if "./configure" correctly detect "librt" (the POSIX real time
library built inside "libc"). "librt" works is soft real time (but with
very good performances) if you are using a "vanilla OS" and open the
door to true "hard real time perf" using "real time OSs" like this Linux
variant:

The real time mode is "on demand" (the default operating mode is
"soft"). 

2) run any Scicos demo. The real time functions are used to update the
scope at 25 fps (if your PC is fast enough :) and you are using a big
enough buffer for the scope e.g.1000) ;

3) run any Scicos/Electrical demos. This check if Scilab correctly
detect and use you "preferred" (see "CC" environment variable) C
compiler.

Finally: thanks to use Scilab !

I have some SUN hardware (in Italy sig :( ): 
     what hardware/software combination are you using for Scilab ?
