<div><br>
</div>
<div>I seem to be running into an interesting issue with my xcos
code, I am getting an error that it is unable to find a c
compiler.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am running win 10 and scilab 5.5.2</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have installed visual studio 2015. I am not too sure if
it will pick up on this compiler. If not, I have downloaded
the latest version of mingw and installed the dynamic linker
for sci-lab and the program is still having issue with finding
a compiler.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I was wondering if anyone here may have ran into a similar
issue or if I could get some help in getting scilab to find a
compatible compiler?</div>

This most recent testimonial lengthens the already long list of
similar posted issues.<br>
<br>
The Scilab Preferences system is available since Scilab 5.4.0, so
for almost 5 years. <br>
It is somewhat hard to understand why compilers are not explicitly
set in the Preferences,<br>
instead of using a <span id="0_LT" class="ellipsis_text"
direction="target" dir="ltr">labyrinthine system of internal
macros hard to maintain to <i>try</i> to<br>
detect installed compilers.<br>
<br>
This wish for simplifying and making Scilab more reliable and
simple to use with compilers<br>
is reported @ <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://bugzilla.scilab.org/12355">http://bugzilla.scilab.org/12355</a><br>
<br>
Implementing this in Preferences, and replacing calls to automatic
detection with<br>
Preferences settings in Scilab macros, could be a priority for
Scilab 6.1<br>
<br>
