Perhaps Benjamin will provide the official release at octave-forge.
Yes, I hoped to do so.
Yesterday I saw Benjamin's svn repository. It seems that he is now extesively
preparing the next
release.
Aha, got me :)
I have tried the new mingw32 gcc-4.2.1 release, which provides now
shared libstdc++ and shared libgcc. With a 2.9.17 version is works.
The main advantage (aside from the newer compiler) is smaller libs and
smaller oct files, since you do not statically link libstdc++ into every
oct file.
Besides, the gcc-3.4.5 is rather ancient, e.g. I couldn't compile
pcre>7.0 because of ICEs.
However, the mingw people name the 4.2.1 'technology preview' so it
might be not yet too stable.
I will provide both gcc-3.4.5 compiled and gcc-4.2.1 compiled binaries,
and let others try also.
The concept of my mingw binaries are to distribute the latest Windows native
binary
as early as possible because of the building process octave itself on mingw is
now quite easy.
Exactly.
The dependency building is rather non-trivial and also took most of my
time up to now to get it consistent and reproducible...
