[vtkusers] build VTK in windows 10, msys2 mingw64 no success so far

[Talal Albader]

Hi ,
thanks for the informations,
actually i am using msys 2  and mingw-64, the workflow i followed is by
installing msys2 ,then adding mingw-w64 toolchain followed by qt 64
installation (all inside msys2)
then i downloaded vtk-8.1.1
the good news that i managed to compile it at the end , by trial and error
work and iterations, just remove everything and try to do fresh build
everytime.
the latest error i face was comming from segy module which i disabled and
the library compiled and built  with only wornings

that is for msys and mingw-w64 branch
for visualstudio branch i found that qt creator is combiled to be 32 bit
and it has only mingw 32 bit compiler so i droped the hole idea

last but not least  , i think this is a pure VTK issue  not related to qt
or mingw ,because other libraries are just going smooth and easy, why vtk
build system not like other libraries (sorry to say that but really a
greate library like this with too many use cases for visualization)  it
should be easy to install

P.S.
after successfuly compiling VTK i found in msys  pacman -Ss vtk  that there
is vtk library there but no  VTK with Qt  , if it could be added to msys2
libraries will be great

thanks for all and sorry for the too many words

regards
