[vtk-developers] undefined reference to `__imp_SymSetOptions'

[Chaffra Affouda]

I think it has to do with

#pragma comment(lib, "Dbghelp.lib")

which works with MSVS but not MINGW. Where should I add -ldbghelp in the 
cmake structure?

Hi,

When building with MinGW/MSYS2 I am getting the linkage error below. II 
am using the trunk version (VTK6.3). The build used to work no problem 
on MinGW. Looks like there is a missing library to link to on MINGW. Any 
help would be appreciated.
