What is chroot? Why one file execute in windows but not 🚫 in MacM1?

GravityGradient.xml (6.6 KB)
MagneticField.xml (3.2 KB)

Hello,

Seems that you are trying to build an old version of the Celestlab toolbox by hand. Is it the case ? Anyway, in the two files, each time you will see

<refsection id="SeeAlso">

remove the id attribute, i.e. replace the above line by

<refsection>

S.

1-Can you tell me where and which file do i have to made changes?

2-I still did not understand it works on older version perfectly and why not new version? If I made change than will it work on older version similarly or not?

Make the change in these two files. It will be OK for older versions of Scilab too. Previous versions of Scilab had less stringent validation of XML help files (non unique refsection ids where allowed), which explains why the help would build on 5.2.2 and not on 2024.0.0.

S.

Still getting same error.

You should continue to build the toolbox on the command line like before, in order to see the XML parser errors. And please continue this conversation in private.

S.

No still not :no_entry_sign: working.

Hello,

Please read the XML parser errors (e.g. some problems with this tag

<imagedata align="center" fileref="../../images/gif/GravityGradient_IF.gif" valign="middle"/>

in GravityGradient.xml file. Maybe the file GravityGradient_IF.gif is not in the expected path. Anyway, you should contact the author of the toolbox you are trying to build. I do not have time to debug all your files one by one in this thread.

S.

Thank you for not having time.

I was expecting it. I am building it under some supervision.

I still didn’t get answer of my question :interrobang:. If same toolbox is working in older version but it shows error only with 2024 version. Hence, it’s Developer fault. New version 2024 was not :no_entry_sign: developer based on previous platform.

I recommend everyone to use older version or MATLAB. MATLAB is paid but far much better than Scilab there is only one drawback is paid version.

If any student don’t have money :money_mouth_face::moneybag: than Scilab older version is better. I have earlier posted that everything is working fine but new version is not :no_entry_sign: compatible and good enough as older version.

I know people are here now having time so everyone has posted on Stackflow and reddit, stack or git to resolve such issues of development as here people don’t have time.

Hi @Vimsrocz

Thanks for using Scilab and for your feedback.

Actually, there were many changes and improvements between Scilab 5.5.2 and Scilab 2024.0.0 and incompatibilities can occur when, for example, a function is replaced by another one, more checks are added, … everything is detailed in release notes.

What you point here is that an help file could be processed by Scilab 5.5.2 and can’t be processed by Scilab 2024.0.0. This probably means that the processing in Scilab 5.5.2 was wrong (did not check some tags, …) and it has been fixed to generate a better help file for the end user.

Your screenshots show that the help build (using SAXON) generates error messages so you have to fix the errors and if, eventually, you have no more errors and the result is still not the one you were waiting for, then we will be happy to help.

What I see is that @mottelet tried to help you and gave you the way to debug/fix the issue you are facing, so you should thank him instead of blaming him for saying he does not have more time (time for Scilab community members is not extensible and for all software communities).

Best regards.

I am sorry to say anthing about it. If developer team is making some changes than it completely disturbed older version than it is not worth it.

It is not 5.2.2 but not working on 2023. I was hoping to get support until end because new version is not suitable like older and person saying not having time and what developer job is? He mentioned that he is not get paid to do job also. I will thank you if you solve issue it not leaving me between way .

Does anyone has time to debug it or help me with new version issue? I am struggling with new version.


Why i am getting such error only on MAC system not on windows?

Is this developer issue?

What is localisation issue? I am not understanding if you saying on stack overflow that i got answer here than why it is running without issue with 5.2.2 and only getting error in 2024 version. Can you please tell me is that developer issue due to version change or manufacture issue of toolbox?

I did solve the issue by copying whole folder and paste it from older version to newer version. Now again same issue occur.
