[vtkusers] Compiling VTK with Mingw64 ?

Tue Sep 20 04:54:39 EDT 2011

Umanga,

it seems (see also the older threads) that not all versions of MinGW-w64
are able to successfully compile VTK. You might have to use a different
one (or try to work around the internal compiler error, which could be
tough and might lead to unexpected results).

The version I proposed works for VTK as well as Qt and a couple of other
libraries (e.g. ITK, Dcmtk, ImageMagick, Qwt, ...), at least for us.

Did you already give the build David suggested a try?
