Re: [Insight-users] Re: Compiling error with ITK 3.4.0 on my MinGW platform

[Tomáš Kazmar]

Hi Thomas,

  please check your build environment, specifically the version of mingw you use.
I built itk 3.4.0 with mingw many times without a problem, also there is a dashboard
entry for mingw. You can try upgrading mingw to 5.1.3 which is the current version
and which works for me.

# I'm not quite sure the statement above makes sense.
# 
# 
# 1) Yes, ITK is an almost fully templated library
# 
# 2) Whether you build it as shared or static library,
#     a very small fraction of the code goes into that library
# 
# 3) Most of the code of ITK is actually compiled when you
#     compile your application, not when you build ITK.
# 
# 
# The difference between using static or shared when building
# ITK libraries, make that the linking time of your application
# will change by a small fraction. Linking is in itself a small
# fraction of the build time compared to compilation itself.
