[scilab-Users] Link error 236

[jasper van baten]

Hello Mike,

Without the symbols it won't be possible to create the import lib of 
course. The original DLL comes from MKL by the looks of it. The 
import libs are mkl_core*.lib. Sorry - not so easy to link against 
that without an MKL installation.

Best wishes,

Jasper.
