[scilab-Users] API_Scilab example

[jasper van baten]

I checked a very simple approach in MSVC (VS 2010):

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <api_scilab.h>
#include <call_scilab.h>


int APIENTRY _tWinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance,
                      HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
                      LPTSTR    lpCmdLine,
                      int       nCmdShow)
{
     if (!StartScilab(NULL,NULL,NULL))
      {MessageBox(0,L"failed to start Scilab",L"Error:",MB_ICONHAND);
       return 0;
      }
     DisableInteractiveMode();

     if (0!=SendScilabJob("a=10;")) MessageBox(0,L"Error sending 
job",L"Error:",MB_ICONHAND);

     TerminateScilab(NULL);
     return 0;
}

To compile that, modules\core\includes, modules\call_scilab\includes and 
modules\api_scilab\includes need to be in your include path, and you 
should link against call_scilab.lib and api_scilab.lib, which are in the 
bin folder. The bin folder needs to also be in the path when you call 
the exe, as this is where the corresponding dlls are located.

Hope that helps,

Best wishes,

Jasper.
