<div dir="ltr">many thanks for the support, <div>in fact i was avoiding visual studio because I am using Qt creator which is compiled with mingw, but it looks as you say working with mingw to build things in windows is opening many issues , in fact every time i redo the process of cmake then mingw32-make i face different issues, yesterday i tried visual studio to build vtk in my other computer and it was very smooth without any issue, today i am right now running a build with visual studio for vtk where turned on Qt support hope it will complete without errors</div><div><br></div><div>again thank you for the help you provide for me as beginner I can see now the problem with is just my lake of knowledge but also mingw has part of it :)</div><div><br></div><div>although i wanted to stick with mingw to the end :(</div><div><br></div><div>regards</div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Fri, Aug 17, 2018 at 11:58 AM Fcs <<a href="mailto:ftpronk@engits.com">ftpronk@engits.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">I managed to compile VTK 6.3.0 with mingw64 on Windows 10 x64 some time back,<br>

<br>
I also found this for you:<br>
<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44705845/file-too-big-compiling-on-cygwin-g" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44705845/file-too-big-compiling-on-cygwin-g</a><br>
<br>
Don't forget that you'll have to compile everything you want to have working<br>
together with your mingw64 toolchain and mingw64 built programs, starting<br>
with Qt. If you want python support with your VTK build, you'll have to<br>
compile Python as well. Etc....<br>
<br>
So the general question is why would you want to move away from the Visual<br>
Studio toolchain. It is what works best on that platform, and, from<br>
experience, using mingw64 for projects making use of multiple libraries is<br>
really opening a can of worms. Especially as a beginner.. If the code you<br>
are using has a CMake build system, you can avoid having to touch any of the<br>
Microsoft products by using a CMake generator for the version of Visual<br>
Studio you have (use the latest...), and just use CMake commands to build<br>
the code. That's what I would do if I had the choice.<br>
<br>
Good luck!<br>
