I'm trying to install (and run) scilab-mode
, but the syntax highlighting does not work when I open .sci
or .sce
file.
I use the exact configuration described in the scilab.el package.

Any help?

The help page clearly says that this is an old script which does not work with the current version of Emacs without adapting it. It's really a shame and I would also be interested, but this elisp script is simply orphaned.
(defvar default-fill-column (default-value 'fill-column)) (autoload 'scilab-mode "scilab") (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.\\(sci\\|sce\\)\\'" . scilab-mode))
. Try that and report whetherscilab-mode
works for you afterwards. Note, that this does not includescilab-shell
yet.default-fill-column
.scilab-shell
yet. Forscilab-shell
to work you have to setupscilab-shell-command
, e.g. by(defvar scilab-shell-command) (setq scilab-shell-command "scilab-adv-cli") (autoload 'scilab-shell "scilab")
. But, they removedscilex
fromscilab
. So I do not know whetherscilab-shell
will work as expected for you. (Note, that I do not usescilab
anymore so much. I useoctave
instead because of Cygwin support and Matlab compatibility.)
