[Insight-users] compiling vtk with mingw or free VC++ Toolkit

[Max Schoebinger]

Hi Nic & Louis,

according to http://www.wxwindows.org/lnk_msw.htm the Microsoft Platform 
SDK (which is also freely available) contains the missing tools 
nmake.exe, lib.exe and cvtres.exe for the win64 platform (they also work 
on win32!). It looks like you can get a full build-system for building 
itk by using this tools. Maybe its worth a try...

Best regards,

Max Schoebinger
