Hi.

What changes did you make to Makefiles and so on, to compile Octave with
MinGW/Msys?

How does a MinGW compiled Octave performs versus a Cygwin compiled
Octave with the same computer? And how does Octave compare with same
compiler on Linux?

There is a site with benchmark for Octave/Matlab...Don't remember where
I downloaded it...

I mangaged also to compile Octave with MinGW (GCC-3.2.3). I've also
benchmarked these Octave versions: MinGW octave and Cygwin Ocave.

The benchmark results can be found here:

MinGW GCC-3.2.3:

Cygwin GCC-3.2.3: 
http://www.octave.org/mailing-lists/octave-maintainers/2005/26

Can you do a benchmark test with the new gcc-version?

Cheers,

Ole J.
