Re: [Texmacs-dev] scilab plugin broken

[Massimiliano Gubinelli]

I think there is a problem in the way we call scilab, which opens up the GUI 
(and then input is in the GUI instead of the console). You should be able  to 
modify the plugin to call “scilab-cli” which  should do the right thing.

It would be nice if you could try because I’m on a mac and cannot really test 
this.

In

$TEXMACS_PATH/plugins/scilab/progs

you have to modify  init-scilab.scm , in paricular the call "scilab --texmacs"

maybe into

“scilab-cli --texmacs"

Can you try?
