[Scilab-users] Visual Studio 2015

[antoine.elias at scilab-enterprises.com]

Hello James,

You can use VS 2015 to build your toolbox but to distribute it you need 
to provide runtime libraries
or install VS 2015 runtime on target computer. 
(https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145)
Scilab 6 beta 2 provides only VS 2013 runtime libraries

At Scilab start, call findmsvccompiler() to get version that Scilab 
found.
If VS 2013 pro is found (msvc120pro [1]) , Scilab always use it to avoid 
compatibility trouble.
You can force Scilab to use another MS compiler by setting environment 
variable "SCILAB_PREFERED_MSVC" ( with misspelling ^^ )

setenv("SCILAB_PREFERED_MSVC", "msvc140pro"); //to set VS 2015 pro as 
c/c++ compiler
