[Scilab-users] Scilab compilation from scratch (was Re: spec can crash scilab)

[Antoine Monmayrant]

Hello all,

In order to try to mitigate bug 15330, I try to compile scilab from 
source on Linux Ubuntu 18.04 64bits.
I follow the explanations from 
https://wiki.scilab.org/Compilation%20of%20Scilab [Linux x86_64 cheat 
sheet].
Sadly, I don't go really far as the prebuild of java fails:


     Makefile:756: recipe for target 'java' failed

Am I missing something?
Are there other infos somewhere, in particular concerning the dependencies ?
Is there a more detailed tutorial for building scilab?

Cheers,

Antoine
