Hi,<br><br>
We are going to migrate Scilab solutions to Visual studio 2008 on
Windows.<br><br>
You can learn how to do build Scilab 5 with Visual studio 2008 here:

</a>We advise you to uninstall Intel compilers and VS 2005 before
installing VS 2008 (Pro or Express).<br><br>
What's new in Visual C++ 2008 is listed here:

</a>For Scilab, the main improvements are:<br>
-- Visual studio 2008 express is easier to install (Visual C++ Express
Edition now includes the Windows SDK )<br>
-- Easier to build a x64 version<br>
-- Scilab can be compiled more quickly with the support of several
cores<br>
-- Better support for Windows Vista and Windows 2008 Server.<br>
-- C compiler supports Intel Core 2 duo optimizations.<br><br>
We expect to migrate to Visual Studio 2008 Solution on Monday, 17th march
2008.<br><br>
We will commit new Scilab solutions and you will need to update your
prerequirements for Scilab too.<br><br>
Best Regards<br><br>
