[vtkusers] Error Compile VTK in the MinGW

[David Cole]

This was recently fixed in the CVS HEAD of VTK.
In the file "VTK/Utilities/vtkjpeg/jconfig.h" you should see this block of
code in VTK 5.0.4:

#if defined(_WIN32) && !(defined(__CYGWIN__) || defined(__MINGW32__))
/* Define "boolean" as unsigned char, not int, per Windows custom */
/* don't conflict if rpcndr.h already read; Note that the w32api headers
   used by Cygwin and Mingw do not define "boolean", so jmorecfg.h
   handles it later. */
#ifndef __RPCNDR_H__
typedef unsigned char boolean;
#endif
#define HAVE_BOOLEAN            /* prevent jmorecfg.h from redefining it */
#endif


Replace that entire block with this block of code:

#if defined(_WIN32) || defined(__CYGWIN__)
/* typedef "boolean" as unsigned char to match rpcndr.h */
typedef unsigned char boolean;
#define HAVE_BOOLEAN    /* prevent jmorecfg.h from typedef-ing it as int */
#endif


Please "reply all" to this email and let us know if that works for you. If
it does, I will get this change merged into the VTK-5-0 branch next week.


Thanks, (and hope this helps!),
