<p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> </p>
<p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">I really appreciate Scilab very much and I think it is very powerful, but right now I'm experiencing problems installing the Scilab Image Processing (SIP) Toolbox on my Windows XP machine using MinGW.</p>
<p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> </p>
<p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">I've tried several options, but they've all failed. It could have to do with the fact that I have almost no experience with UNIX, so MinGW is new for me. A friend who does have UNIX experience tried it as well, but without success.</p>
<p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> </p>
<p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">To give you an idea what I've tried I give you a summary of my current installation following all the README's and INSTALL's:</p>

<p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><i>--> The AnImaL directory is currently located on D:\, so should I move it inside some folder of ImageMagick?</i></p>

<p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> </p>
<p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Do you have any suggestions to help me install AnImaL and in the end SIP? Or when you have instructions to use a different compiler that would also be very welcom. Thanks!</p>
