<p><font face="Arial">Hello,</font></p>
<p><br>
<font face="Arial"><font face="Arial">MS Visual studio community
2019 can take more than 20 GB on the drive if all its numerous
components are installed.<br>
Since i wish to use my SSD drive to useful stuff, i have
limited the installation to components that "looked" necessary
to me.<br>
</font></font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">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.<br>
<br>
The Scilab wiki pages do not provide details about the
requirements for Visual Studio, and most of them look outdated:</font></p>

<font size="+1">Would anyone have up-to-date information about the
minimal set of mandatory VS components?<br>
Otherwise i will install all, try to successfully compile, and
then remove components one by one up to failure :-/<br>
But this blind way is quite awkward and time consuming...<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
