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

Tue Aug 6 03:20:49 EDT 2013

Hi Matt,

I tried the patch. I don't have a git version of ITK setup on that
specific computer, so I used ITK 4.4.1 and manually patched
itkFloatingPointExceptions.cxx (by downloading the new file from
gerrit and copying over the top). Compilation fails with the following
error:

mingw32-make.exe: *** [all] Error 2

Looking at the changes, this makes sense, as for MinGW systems
Disable() and Enable() are no longer defined...

For the moment, I will just hack MinGW float.h header to avoid the
"include_next <float.h>" command.

Cheers, Dan
