|
| To build a functional GUI, the following packages are required, these are not available in fedora repos at this time. These dependencies are listed below.
| | === Scilab 5.3 === |
|
| |
|
| ===Java GUI===
| | Scilab 5.3.3 has been release in July 2011. All of the dependencies are now available in Fedora. |
| * ''Javahelp2'' -- Pushed into rawhide (F10?) [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=439263 Bug 439263]. May require building for F9?
| |
| * ''JRosetta'' -- Currently under [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=468797 package review]
| |
| * ''Gluegen'' -- Currently under [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=439630 package review].
| |
| * ''Jogl'' -- Currently under [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=439630 package review].
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Internal help & documentation === | | === Scilab 5.4 === |
| The internal help provides users with a ready reference for scilab commands and general usage. This is an optional, but desirable package.
| |
|
| |
|
| * ''JEuclid'' -- Currently no available package. There does exist a patchset maintained for Debian [http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/debian-science/packages/jeuclid/trunk/debian/ here] this resource may help speed up the RPM development. Finally JEuclid utilises the maven2 build system, which is significantly different to the ant based systems. Note that due to the design of maven2, which assumes it has an internet connection to pull things from, you must, among other restrictions use mvn-jpp, rather than mvn to build the package (see [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Java#maven here]).
| | Scilab 5.4.0 has been release in October 2012. The needed dependencies are under review : |
| --I (bashton) have JEuclid up for package review right now, only one patch out of the Debian set is necessary and just comments out the call for FreeHep. I just patched the necessary changes to the build.xml so ant works and none of the mvn stuff in required. [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=472848 ReviewRequest]

|
| ===Optional functionality===
| | * gluegen2 - <del>https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=858380</del> |
| * ''PVM '' -- PVM provides distributed computing functionality, this is obviously desirable in a numerical analysis package. PVM libraries are in the fedora repos. The .spec file provided with the scilab review request includes some (commented out) patches for PVM building, however these are incomplete as linker errors are caused during the build process. The patches for PVM are available [http://dhd.selfip.com/427e/ here]. | | * jogl2 - <del>https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=858381</del> |
| * ''Matio'' -- Provides a library that allows scilab to read the "Matlab" proprietary package's data files. Would be advantageous for users migrating from a matlab environment.
