Visual Studio Community 2013
Step 1
You need :
Download Visual Studio Community 2013
- Visual Studio Community 2013 is a "freeware"
SVN client (http://tortoisesvn.net/downloads)
GIT client (https://git-for-windows.github.io/)
Checkout the Scilab sources (see instructions here).
Creates a d:\GIT-scilab-master directory
d: mkdir d:\GIT-scilab-master cd d:\GIT-scilab-master git clone git://git.scilab.org/scilab cd scilab\scilab
(Step 2 - Windows 64)
If you wish to compile/build an x64 version, you may need an x64 cross-compile setup (is usually shipped with Visual Studio)
Step 3
Checkout the Windows prerequisites for compilation in d:\GIT-scilab-master
cd scilab svn export --username anonymous --password Scilab svn://svn.scilab.org/scilab/trunk/Dev-Tools/SE/Prerequirements/Windows/
Step 4
Copy the content of "Prerequirements" directory in "scilab" (d:\GIT-scilab-master\scilab\scilab) directory.
Step 5
Build Scilab source code using the f2c solution (Scilab_f2c.sln) in Visual Studio or use msbuild.exe.
