[Scilab-Dev] Setting up MS Visual studio Community to compile Scilab

[Chin Luh Tan]

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

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. 





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
