[vtkusers] Compiling VTK with Mingw64 ?

[Ashika Umanga Umagiliya]

Greetings all,

I tried to compile VTK with Mingw64 compiler .(using personal Mingw
build "mingw-w64-bin_x86_64-mingw_20101002_4.5_sezero" )
During compilation it gave warnings saying "warning: cast from pointer
to integer of different size".
And the compilation failed at -

Has anyone compiling VTK suing Mingw64 ?

Thanks in advance.
