Minimal Version
Let us start with the very little you need in order to get your toolbox working:
- etc/
- myToolbox.quit
- myToolbox.start
- macros/
- buildmacros.sce
- myFirstFunction.sci
- builder.sce
- cleaner.sce
.quit
Not so important at first. It defines the actions to perform when we quit the toolbox. You can leave it empty.
.start
This script is executed at startup. You can add a function call at the end of the script.
Macros
This is where you save all your functions written in Scilab (also called macros).
Buildmacros
This script is called by the builder.sce at the root of your toolbox. It generates a binary version of your Scilab functions (.bin).
Builder
By executing this file, you will build your toolbox.
Cleaner
This is important if you want to carry modifications on your toolbox. You need to clean the previous build. This will result in deleting all the .bin files, as long as the loader and unloader.
