Loading mex-files

[duboism at limsi.fr]

Hello everyone,

I would like to know how can I use a mex file inside scilab.

Let me explain. I use the CSIM neural simulator
(http://www.lsm.tugraz.at/csim/) which is composed of a C++ core and a mex
interface. To install it one needs to execute matlab-script which
basically calls a Makefile in the source directory. The result is a file
'csim.mexglx' (glx stands for GNU/Linux I guess) which is just a shared
library (so). The simulator uses some advanced matlab functions.

So my question is: can I load this file inside scilab or do I need to
recompile it?

I have read the mex examples in scilab directory but I don't have any
experience in writing external code.

Thanks in advance,
Mathieu
