Getting proper tools for compilation
I am thankful to the mentors at Scilab for helping me out, it was really good guidance.Now coming to patching Scilab for jdk10. I went throught this page to get a good idea what is the task.
I figured out following tools were required with a version specifications which was as follows:
- autoconf (at least version 2.61)
- automake (at least version 1.10)
- libtool
- gettext (Yes although it isn't mentioned but is very much required.)
After getting tools
I did the changes and ran the autoreconf command, the configure file was generated but I was not able to start Scilab.Still stuck, as Scilab doesn't install or start properly.
I guess I missed something, I will try tommorow again with a fresh mind.
Hoping for Best.
Happily Coding
