[vtk-developers] Kitware VTK cygwin build

[Bill Lorensen]

Dave,

I see today that the cygwin build is getting closer. But none of the
tests are running.

I am using cygwin version 1.7.7, gcc-4.3.4 and cmake 2.6-patch4.

I build with shared libs on.

I had to patch one file: Utilities/Cosmo/ParticleDistribute.cxx

All built fine except that I get thousands of warnings about
"visibility attribute not supported in this configuration".

All but 8 tests passed.

I think I'll build cmake 2.8 and see if it solves the visibility issue.

Bill
