[scilab-Users] Problems with building toolboxes

[ray joseph]

That was a great exchange.  I thank everyone for the efforts.  As a new
user, I would like to understand the process.

This difficulty came while implementing a toolbox.  This particular toolbox
requires a Fortran complier.  Do all toolboxes require a compilation
operation?  Is the type of compiler different for each toolbox?  How is the
compiler requirement communicated to the user?

Being visually oriented, I find graphics very helpful in guiding me through
processes.  Are there any charts or diagrams that show the work processes
for the realm of activities in the use of Scilab and Xcos?

Best regards,
Ray
