Subject: [Scilab-Dev] Setting up MS Visual studio Community to compile Scilab
Message-ID: <3e6d7853-6e1c-1b8c-db26-8f1ff573e45c@free.fr>

Hello,


MS Visual studio community 2019 can take more than 20 GB on the drive if 
all its numerous components are installed.
Since i wish to use my SSD drive to useful stuff, i have limited the 
installation to components that "looked" necessary to me.

However, when trying to compile Scilab, i get some errors. I don't know 
if they come from expected missing VS components, or from anything else.

The Scilab wiki pages do not provide details about the requirements for 
Visual Studio, and most of them look outdated:

  * How can I set up Microsoft Visual Studio 2008/2010 Express Edition
    for use with Scilab x64 on 64-bit Windows?
    <https://wiki.scilab.org/How%20can%20I%20set%20up%20Microsoft%20Visual%20Studio%202008/2010%20Express%20Edition%20for%20use%20with%20Scilab%20x64%20on%2064-bit%20Windows%3F>
  * Compiling of Scilab on Windows or Linux
    <https://wiki.scilab.org/Compilation%20of%20Scilab>

Would anyone have up-to-date information about the minimal set of 
mandatory VS components?
Otherwise i will install all, try to successfully compile, and then 
remove components one by one up to failure :-/
But this blind way is quite awkward and time consuming...

Thanks
Regards
Samuel

Hi Samuel,?



My previous successful installation was ver 2017 (I just switch to SSD and have not tried to compile Scilab under windows), but base on what I always did, I will just choose C++ and unselect all other docs, C# ......this should save a lot of space.?



As for 2019, I just had a look on the installation page, I will tried to use the Desktop dev with C++ default setting + C++/CLI support as? a start if I were to try.?



Thanks.



Regards,

Chin Luh

Yes, it is what i did as well, for roughly 2.5 GB download and 8.5 GB 
installed. Now, what i understand is that Community 2019 does not embed 
Windows 8.1 SDK that is currently the version targeted by the Scilab 
solution. I retargeted the solution for windows 10, but i get then many 
errors with include file.h that are not found, although they are 
actually at the printed path. I was not able to find an URL to get this 
SDK and instal it in community.

Thanks
Samuel

Hi Samuel,?



I tried to reload the previous Scilab (the master before the release of 6.1) with my current Visual C++ Comm 2017, I don't think I've installed the Win8.1SDK separately before.?



What I've did extra to make it works with my current installation: (some steps might e redundant)?



1. Install Java SDK 1.8 and set the JAVA_HOME and include path from JRE to JDK (this might be redundant)

2. Run "https://github.com/scilab/scilab-prerequirements/blob/master/Windows_x64/java/set_scilab_jdk64.bat" from the?scilab-master\scilab\java ( which is installed with pre-requirement)

3. Open?Scilab_f2c.sln (I did it from Dev Command Prompt for VS 2017?devenv.exe scilab_master\scilab\Scilab_f2c.sln, it should be fine to load from VS as well)



then I compile the solution and no errors, but quite some warning.?



Thanks?



Regards,

Chin Luh
