[vtkusers] [vtk-users] VTK 6.0 Compile issue with MinGW64 on Windows 7 x64

[skn123]

You can (and should) use pthreads when using MinGW. I think the bug is
related to this line in CMakeLists 
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
# Platform configuration tests. 
include(TestBigEndian) 
TEST_BIG_ENDIAN(CMAKE_WORDS_BIGENDIAN) 

include(FindThreads) <------ 
set(VTK_USE_WIN32_THREADS 0) 
set(VTK_USE_PTHREADS 0) 
set(VTK_HP_PTHREADS 0) 
set(VTK_USE_SPROC 0) 
if(CMAKE_USE_WIN32_THREADS_INIT) 
  set(VTK_USE_PTHREADS 1)#VTK_USE_WIN32_THREADS 1) 

By default, if it sees a WIN32 platform it is activating windows threads. A
better way would be to activate Win32 threads only if a MSVC flag has been
detected. In my case, I manually changed it to VTK_USE_PTHREADS and the
compilation progressed smoothly.
