Umanga,

please see:

    http://vtk.1045678.n5.nabble.com/Building-VTK-on-64-bit-Windows-using-MinGW-w64-td3351101.html

which contains a patch we used to successfully compile VTK with
MinGW-w64.

You might also want to check out this thread:

    http://www.vtk.org/pipermail/vtkusers/2011-April/116318.html

which also discusses GCC versions.

The Mantis report I filed a while back was apparently removed, cannot
tell why or what happed to it:
