LCC-windows

Comment from Miege Arnaud -- January 25, 2013, 01:18:09 PM    

I have Windows XP SP2 x64 but a 32-bit installation of Scilab 5.4.0:

-->win64()
 ans  =
 
  F 

I have successfully installed and loaded lcc-win32 but scilab still doesn't detect any 
compiler installed, and I am unable to run some of my models.

Start LCC-Win Compiler support
	Load macros
	Load help

 
-->haveacompiler()
 ans  =
 
  F  
 
-->findmsvccompiler()
 ans  =
 
 unknown  

If I try run a model using COSELICA blocks, I get the following error:

 --------------------------------------------\
 Main Modelica : C:\DOCUME~1\ajpm\LOCALS~1\Temp\SCI_TMP_4928_\DC_motor_im.mo

!                                      !
!A Fortran or C compiler is required.  !
 
 Undefined variable: model   

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Actually, I have made some progress. Nowhere is it mentioned that lccwin32 has to be 
downloaded and installed separately, so I assumed it was included in the ATOMS package. 
Nevertheless, I have downloaded it from http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~lcc-win32/ and 
installed it. Now, haveacompiler() returns true:

-->haveacompiler()
 ans  =
 
  T  

However, I now get an error with make:

2nd update: I have restarted Scilab after installing lcc and that generated a number of 
*.lib files. However, Scilan now doesn't seem to recognise I have a compiler installed:

-->haveacompiler()
 ans  =
 
  F  
 
-->lcc_detectCompiler()
 ans  =
 
  T  
 
-->lcc_lib_dir = lcc_getScilabLibPath()
 lcc_lib_dir  =
 
 C:\DOCUME~1\ajpm\APPLIC~1\Scilab\scilab-5.4.0\lcclib   
 
-->cd(lcc_lib_dir)
 ans  =
 
 C:\DOCUME~1\ajpm\APPLIC~1\Scilab\scilab-5.4.0\lcclib   
 
-->dir
 ans  =
 
api_scilab.lib  core_f.lib       intersci.lib libjvm.lib         output_stream.lib   
scicos_f.lib 
blasplus.lib    dynamic_link.lib lapack.lib   linpack_f.lib      scicos.lib          
scilab_windows.lib 
call_scilab.lib hashtable.lib    libf2c.lib   MALLOC.lib         scicos_blocks.lib   
scilocalization.lib 
core.lib        integer.lib      libintl.lib  optimization_f.lib scicos_blocks_f.lib 
time.lib 

Any suggestions on how to get Scilab to recognise lcc?

Thanks,

Arnaud

Hopefully final update: I removed the MinGW package with ATOMS, restarted Scilab and
finally 
it seems to work, in that the Xcos model finally compiles without any error. I think the 
documentation on how to set up the compiler really needs to be updated and fleshed out.

Thanks,

Arnaud

Hi,
IMO, it would be useful to tell in the description that LCC must be installed separately
(giving the link to the LCC page), and that this module is (only) the bridge between LCC
and Scilab, and does not include LCC.
