Yes, it is a duplicate.

Building ITK with shared libs on MinGW has been broken for a long time now. The last patch fixes the linker errors (unresolved symbols) for some executables, unfortunately not for itkTestDriver (it introduces the error you report), if I recall well. Currently, not using shared libs on MinGW is the way to go.

Apparently, the same problem appears on cygwin

Try updating to CMake 2.6.4. We have a cygwin and mingw nightlies building with shared libraries. I also build mingw shared on my system. There were changes made to cmake to explicitly resolve this issue.

Thank you Bill. I am not working with cygwin and mingw anymore right now but will try cmake 2.6.4 if I do.

It is OK to close this bug from my side.

An update to cmake 2.6.4 resolves the problem.
