I build scilab from the scilab branch master under lubuntu. This went well except for the JOGL2 library.
I noticed that almost all modern distros come with its own version of this library. The library is currently redistributed. However, there is a library problem in which a dynamic library doesn't return the correct string. If I remember correctly this is the latest MesagGL library. The redistributed version is no longer compatible with the latest mesa library. This is a well known problem and all distributions package scilab using the new version. They are aware that search path for the library in Java is modfied from javax.opengl to com.jogamp. Every distribution uses a patch which patches a set of java files and adapts the configure.ac I am very curious if there is an incentive to integrate this modification into the current master branch and link to a new version of JOGL2. This will make it much easier to compile scilab from scratch. I do this because I am interested on working on XCOS.. This is a very cool tool which still needs a lot of work.
