[Insight-users] Error compiling ITK 4.4.1 using MinGW on WinXP

[Matt McCormick]

Hi Dan,

This is a known bug that comes with the version of the version of GCC
that is shipped with MinGW.  There is a Windows and a GCC float.h, and
GCC does not have the requisite #include_next directive.

A workaround is this patch:

That needs some testing and maybe some modifications.  Could you
please give it a try?

Thanks,
Matt
