[scilab-Users] scilab 5.1.1 compilation under Solaris 10

[Sylvestre Ledru]

> It works! I didn't have to rebuild anything to use mesa. I just put the mesa lib dir in LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and libjogl.so dynamically links against it. And now, the graphics work just fine under Solaris 10.
Thanks for the feedback

:)
Indeed, there is easier way.
This stuff is declared in Makefile.incl.am and all makefile can be
regenerated with autoreconf.
You will find the patch attached to this email. 
Apply it and launch autoreconf
it should fix you problem

You should see if the glx is correctly configured/set on your Solaris.

What kind of problems do you have with Linux 64 bits ? There is many
people in the team and users who are working on Scilab with a 64 bits
Linux without any problems.

It would be great. Many thanks
