[Scilab-users] "automation" module - cannot build/run ???

[Wilfried Noell - private]

Hello Everyone,
Recently I switched from Matlab to Scilab and I would like to keep using my
"old" scripts that utilize activex control, a.k.a. automation.

I am hence very new to Scilab and have "only" installed the basic package,
i.e. Scilab 5.4.0-64bit.

I found this very nice
ole_automation<http://forge.scilab.org/index.php/p/ole/source/tree/master/>module
from Allan Cornet, but I just cannot get it to build/run. Here is
what I get when trying to build this module:

******************************************************************
->exec('C:\Users\[mypath]\automation\build.txt', -1)

-->pWord = ole_actxserver("Word.Application");
!--error 4
Undefined variable: ole_actxserver
******************************************************************

Again, I am very new to Scilab. Maybe there is a very basic thing I do not
know about building modules.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thank you!
W.
