[vtkusers] Building VTK with MinGW

[Vincent Nicolas]

Hello, 


I've had the same problem ... it seems it comes from gcc linking ...

I've completed the whole compilation of VTK with mingw using a script for the linking part. You should restart compilation of all part of VTK using this script for linking ... you should modify all the makefile to use it.

You can download the script here : http://www.tele.ucl.ac.be/~nicovic/ld-DLL

you may also need to remove the "-ldl" flags of linking lines in all Makefiles as the ld library does not exist in Mingw.

I've post a small tutorial on compiling VTK with mingw ... it should work with VTK 4.0 ... but i've not updated it for newer versions ... but it might be of some help ...
