Cannot compile module in scilab

Question

I made a scilab module and I have some troubles compiling it. Thought I tested on another computer and It works just fine.

When I execute:

exec builder.sce

Here is what I get:

-->mode(-1);
  error(msprintf(gettext('%s module not installed."),'development_tools'));
                                                          !--error 10000 
  development_tools module not installed.
  at line      30 of exec file called by :    
  exec builder.sce

I've search how to instal the development_tools but I cannot manage to find a solution.

Answer 1

I'm not completely sure, but since it is saying you're missing the system module development_tools. Your installation of 5.4.1 does not seem to be correct. Somebody had a problem with missing development_tools in Windows and asked it on the mailinglist here.

One of the answers mentioned that development_tools has to be explicitly selected. I don't know if this is still true but you could try reinstalling 5.4.1 and pay extra attention when the select components screen comes up.

You could also consult this very extensive document about modules.

Could you try that and please post your results?
