### 8.2 Can I compile Octave with another C++ compiler?

Yes, but development is done primarily with GCC, so you may hit some incompatibilities. Octave is intended to be portable to any standard conforming compiler. If you have difficulties that you think are bugs, please report them to the bug@octave.org mailing list, or ask for help on the help@octave.org mailing list.
