However, Benjamin Linder uses this gcc-4.3.0-TDM for octave-mingw. The candidate release of gcc-4.3.0 on MINGW includes some mispackaging so that manual corrections are required to use. http://www.nabble.com/Re%3A-Octave---Fortran-continued-p21222084.html http://www.nabble.com/Re%3A-Octave---Fortran-continued-p21249982.html For my experience on cygwin, the gcc-4.3.2 is better than gcc-4.3.0. (My own build) So that I thought that gcc-4.3.2 is better to use. The latest candidate release of mingw in the official site is still gcc-4.3.0. However, the latest release of TDM is gcc-4.4.0-sjlj. >From my experience, the binaries built by gcc-4.3.2-TDM are faster than those of gcc-4.3.0 even the same optimizing option. In addtion, gcc-4.3.2-TDM produces more stable binaries than those prodeced by gcc-4.3.0-TDM. All I told from my experiences. I do not know any technical reasons.
