The only reason for recompiling them is to keep up with new upstream releases. It's not necessary to be super reactive, but you need to check from time to time, at least because of bugfixes and security issues. I was more or less updating the libraries every 3 months, to match the Dynare release cycle (but it's better not to recompile them just before a release, in order to avoid breaking something in the last minute).
I think that there are some per-library specific compilation instructions in the org file that I gave to Stéphane before leaving.

Thanks Sébastien. when do you think that we will have to consider recompiling these libraries for MINGW64 in order to cross-compile Dynare for Windows?
Best

I don't know if one can use a Cygwin package in Mex file or whether one must have a mingw64 compiled one
For MEX files we need MinGW-compiled DLLs. We never supported Cygwin-compiled MEX files.
I don't know why the 64-bit GSL is not in the ZIP. Most probably it is an error. I may have forgotten to include it in the ZIP file, but the binary is probably in /usr/local/mingw64 (or something like that) on karaba.
