Well, not all available forge packages can be successfully built for the 
mingw32 build.

Please provide some more information. Which version of octave do you 
have installed? Which version of the package do you try to install? Can 
you post the commands you executed and octave's error response?

With the 3.2.2 mingw32 installer I can for example install ga-0.9.7 
without errors.
