[ITK-users] ITK compiling error with MinGW-w64: "too many sections"

[Matt McCormick]

Hello,

According to this thread:

  https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16596876/object-file-has-too-many-sections

possible workarounds include not compiling with the Debug
CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE or adding the flags

  -Wa,-mbig-obj

to your build.

Please let us know how it goes.

Matt
