<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> I've been using scilab for many
many years, primarily on linux systems.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> Recently trying to run on windows
and hit two snags, both resolved. I'm putting them on the list</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">so search engines can find them... </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Fresh scilab 5.41 install on XP.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">First -- dynamic linking using mingw
under windows. It Works! Thank you!</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">but only after I deleted a bit of the
file TEMPLATE_MAKEFILE.MINGW</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">$ diff TEMPLATE_MAKEFILE.MINGW TEMPLATE_MAKEFILE.MINGW0</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">103c103</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">< $(LINKER)
$(LINKER_FLAGS) -o $(LIBRARY).dll $(OTHERLIBS) -Wl,--out-implib=$(LIBRARY).a
-Wl,--export-all-symbols -Wl,--enable-auto-import</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">---</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">> $(LINKER)
$(LINKER_FLAGS) -o $(LIBRARY).dll $(OTHERLIBS) -Wl,--out-implib=$(LIBRARY).a
-Wl,--export-all-symbols -Wl,--enable-auto-import -Wl $(EXTRA_LDFLAGS)</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">That last "-Wl, $(EXTRA_LDFLAGS)
seems to cause trouble. Is there a better fix?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Second -- plotting didn't work. The
frame was created, but remained empty. It semed to be a java related
issue, but maybe not. The following fixed it:</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3>usecanvas(%t) </font>
<br><font size=3>system_setproperty("jogl.gljpanel.nohw","");</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">This was in several places on the web.
Apparently my video drivers are buggy. The computer dates from
around 2006.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Now a question:</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">There are various references in the
docs to using SWIG instead of intersci. But there seem to be no examples.
(I did get intersci to work in windows</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">and was able to link my fortran to scilab
successfully. )</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Are there examples of using SWIG to
make an interface file to connect a fortran routine to scilab? My
routine returns 3 long vectors.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Thanks,</font>
