[Scilab-Dev] Migrating To Visual Studio 2008 on Windows

[François Vogel]

Hi,

I have finally followed your advice and have uninstalled VS2005 before 
trying with the new VS2008.

I have managed to compile Scilab 5 from trunk with VS 2008 Express 
(f2c solution) after having worked around a problem introduced 
yesterday in strops.f

Since I was not so sure about the success of the process I have kept a 
directory with a working Scilab 5 from last week's trunk aside of the 
newly checked out version compiled with VS2008.

After having uninstalled VS2005, it turns out that the Scilab that I 
compiled last week with VS2005 does no longer launch, despite there is 
no change in that directory.

Did perhaps the VS2005 uninstall remove some registry key that Scilab 
needs to launch?
Any other hint, perhaps?

Thanks,
Francois

> -- Easier to build a x64 version
> -- Scilab can be compiled more quickly with the support of several cores
> -- Better support for Windows Vista and Windows 2008 Server.
> -- C compiler supports Intel Core 2 duo optimizations.
