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

[Simon GARESTE]

Hello,

This module is currently on the forge, and not on the atoms portal, 
because it is not ready for the portal. If you look into it, you'll see 
that while there is a cpp gateway in the source files (under 
sci_gateway), there is no call to the tbx_builder_gateway function in 
the builder.sce file. That's why you get a warning.

What you could do is get the code of ole_automation via git clone, study 
the toolbox_skeleton present either in your scilab folder or on the 
portal here <http://atoms.scilab.org/toolboxes/toolbox_skeleton>, and 
try to make it work by copying it. Asking the developpers about it is 
also a good option.
