Re: [Mingw-cross-env-list] mxe for windows 7 (64 bit)

[Alois Schlögl]

In general, the standard procedure for get going is this:

1) Remove the empty build instructions for x86_64 in src/vtk.mk (see
patch below) and

2) run
  make vtk

3) If compilation fails,
   3a)  look in log/vtk to identify the problem,
   3b)  fix the problem and goto 2).
