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

[François Vogel]

Moreover, how can I now build the help system under VS2008?

Previously I was used to build the BuildHelp solution as a separate 
project but it doesn't seem to work with VS2008, or is it the new 
java-stuff that fails?


1>------ Build started: Project: BuildHelp, Configuration: Debug Win32 
------
1>Performing Makefile project actions
1>Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 9.00.21022.08
1>Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.
1>^C
1>Building the scilab manual master document
1>Terminer le programme de commandes (O/N) ?
1>Build log was saved at gnagnagnagnagna
1>BuildHelp - 0 error(s), 0 warning(s)


Note ^C in the middle. If I don't it seems to wait for my input forever.


F.

>> Hi,
>>
>> We are going to migrate Scilab solutions to Visual studio 2008 on 
>> Windows.
>>
>> You can learn how to do build Scilab 5 with Visual studio 2008 here: 
>> http://wiki.scilab.org/Compiling_Scilab_5.x_under_Windows
>>
>> We advise you to uninstall Intel compilers and VS 2005 before 
>> installing VS 2008 (Pro or Express).
>>
>> What's new in Visual C++ 2008 is listed here: 
>> http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb384632.aspx
>>
>> For Scilab, the main improvements are:
>> -- Visual studio 2008 express is easier to install (Visual C++ Express 
>> Edition now includes the Windows SDK )
>> -- 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.
>>
>> We expect to migrate to Visual Studio 2008 Solution on Monday, 17th 
>> march 2008.
>>
>> We will commit new Scilab solutions and you will need to update your 
>> prerequirements for Scilab too.
>>
