This toolbox is very usefull. Compiling externals with GCC is more than ten much faster
than with Visual Studio in my computer. Thak you very much.

However: why using such a specific variant of MinGW ? Equations.com provides binaires, not
source code, which may be an issue.

binaires provided by Equations.com are "stable" have win32 & win64 support and includes 
gfortran and have some tools to convert vc lib to mingw lib and have a easy way to detect
if 
it is installed or not.

I will try to add a detection of mingw already installed and not packaged by Equation, but

it is not so easy ...

OK, but there is still the issue that they are difficult to download. Is there any chance
that you provide a mirror or torrents of those binaries?

Some problems:

1) ftp://ftp.equation.com/gcc/gcc-4.5.1-64.exe does not exist on the server any more. The
closest version is 4.5.2.

2) When installed, after rebooting the program crashed attempting to convert the second
library. A hard restart later and everything seemed fine:

Startup execution:
  loading initial environment

Mingw Compiler support for Scilab
	Load macros
	Load help

although it didn't try to convert libraries ever again.

3) The makefile was looking for:

x86_64-pc-mingw32-gcc.exe

which does not exist. The closest file is:

x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc.exe

which I copied to the former, and got a little further along.

4) Trying to compile the example buck converter simulation, I get an error:

!c:/users/adam/gcc/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/4.5.2/../../../../x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe:
cannot find -lMALLOC

Any suggestions?

Thanks for your report

mingw gcc-4.5.1 has been updated and requires a update of this module
