Hi Mario,
I'm not aware of a successful BRL-CAD build with MinGW. All attempts
I know about got stuck during the CMake configuration, as you did.
What you could do is
- Use MS Visual Studio
- Use Linux in a virtual machine (there is an image among the BRL-CAD downloads)
- Fix BRL-CAD's CMake files (not recommended if you aren't fit in writing them)
Therefore, I'm afraid the answer is negative.
Regards,
Daniel
