[Insight-users] Problems building itk under MinGW

[Michael Jackson]

I am not sure about all the MinGW dependencies so I would install  
everything that MinGW offers to install. You definitely need the Mingw- 
make, the c compiler, the C++ compiler and all the supporting  
libraries, executables and such. So, just try installing every option  
that MinGW gives you.
