最近开始关注 Visualization，尝试用 Mingw 编译 VTK，下面写点手记吧。

mingw32-make: *** [all] Error 2
Mingw GCC版本：gcc (GCC) 3.4.2 (mingw-special)
编译步骤：
1. Install CMake
2. configure
用 CMakeSetup 设置好源码和目标路径，configure 一下。完成后，设置相应的编译选项后，
点击 OK，即可生成所需的 Makefile。
3. make
编译错误及解决方法：
(1) vtkjpeg 的 boolean 类型冲突

解决方法：
将 "VTK/Utilities/vtkjpeg/jconfig.h" 中的
#if defined(_WIN32) && !(defined(__CYGWIN__) || defined(__MINGW32__))
/* Define "boolean" as unsigned char, not int, per Windows custom *//* don't conflict if rpcndr.h already read; Note that the w32api headers
used by Cygwin and Mingw do not define "boolean", so jmorecfg.h
handles it later. */#ifndef __RPCNDR_H__typedef unsigned char boolean;#endif#define HAVE_BOOLEAN /* prevent jmorecfg.h from redefining it */#endif
替换为
#if defined(_WIN32) || defined(__CYGWIN__)/* typedef "boolean" as unsigned char to match rpcndr.h */typedef unsigned char boolean;#define HAVE_BOOLEAN /* prevent jmorecfg.h from typedef-ing it as int */#endif
