[vtkusers] Compiling VTK with DevCpp and MinGW

[David Cole]

Hmmmm...

So: what version of CMake are you using? (I was assuming latest released 
or CVS: 2.0.6 or later?)
What version of VTK are you trying to build?
I have only built VTK from recent CVS with MinGW. Can you update your 
VTK to latest CVS?
