Dear Ms./Mr.
When I tried to run Xcos example RLC circuit, I met the following error message:
Modelica translator error message.
Would you advice how I work it out?
Thank you.
Best regards,
Wang RD
Here’s the error message:
“c_pass1: build the modelica meta-block failed”
“xcos_simulate: Error during block parameters update.”
You need to have a compiler on your system (I recommend to install Visual Studio Community edition 2022).
I have the same issue. I installed the compiler, but not certain I did it correctly. I don’t know how to check that. I still have the same issue as described above.
Hello,
Which compiler ? Latest version of minGW Scilab Toolbox should work (if properly installed, see the toobox page ATOMS : MinGw toolbox details), but we now recommend Visual Studio Communitty (Visual Studio 2022 Community Edition – Télécharger la dernière version gratuite).
S.
I’m investigating the “if properly installed”. with minGW… I have since installed Visual Studio Community and the recommended toolbox for that but still no change in behavior. I’m trying to make time to work on this again today. Appreciate your direction and support.

Ok. Did you uninstall the minGW toolbox ?
S.
yes. So far no change in translator error message.

Hello,
Can you test the compiler within Scilab by running the C and C++ dynamic link examples in the help page of ilib_build (type help ilib_build on Scilab’s command line) ?
It if fails, can you give us the error messages here ?
S.
The C File does not look like it failed.

Hello,
OK, everything is OK with “basic” dynamic link, so it seems to be another issue. Can you give all the lines printed on Scilab command line during the failed compilation of the RLC Modelica demo ? Lines start with:
Main Modelica :...
Flat Modelica :...../RLC_Modelica_imf.mo
Simulation C code :..../RLC_Modelica_im.c

ilib_gen_Make: Copy compilation files (Makefile*, libtool...) to TMPDIR

ilib_gen_Make: configure : Generate Makefile.

Running the Makefile
The part of the log giving more details is after “Running the Makefile”.
Note: use code blocks when you include code or logs in your post, your previous messages were automatically flagged because the full logs were included as basic text (see the posting guidelines: Welcome to the Scilab discourse forum!)

Main Modelica : C:\Users\PLATTE~1\AppData\Local\Temp\SCI_TMP_9768_31669\RLC_Modelica_im.mo
"c_pass1: build the modelica meta-block failed"
"xcos_simulate: Error during block parameters update."
You said you wanted the message from “Main Modelica” onward. That is the same as the original message issue.
This is the message before, for clarity:
at line 1 of executed string
at line 50 of function loadXcosLibs ( C:\Users\Plattenberger\AppData\Local\scilab-2023.1.0\modules\xcos\macros\loadXcosLibs.sci line 65 )
It is not possible to redefine the Branchinglib primitive this way (see clearfun).
Your problem is not a compilation problem. There is likely a redefinition problem. Which toolbox are currrently installed in your Scilab ? Please uninstall all your toolboxes then test again the Modelica demo.
S.
Main Modelica : C:\Users\PLATTE~1\AppData\Local\Temp\SCI_TMP_2524_7026\RLC_Modelica_im.mo
"c_pass1: build the modelica meta-block failed"
"xcos_simulate: Error during block parameters update."
I removed 3 toolboxes.

Dear @KapitalP,
This issue seems to be solved in latest Coselica version. You can try to install it using the following commands:
atomsSystemUpdate();
atomsInstall("coselica")
Vincent
That would be:no change.
