Hi all, I’m trying to build ITK 5.4.5 (stable) from source on Debian Forky. Any idea the cause for this error?

@Vladimir_Fonov @gdevenyi should be most familiar with MINC, they might have some advice.

I believe I encountered this error with the mingw compile. There is a fix in upstream MINC. I back ported an update to the release-5.4 branch after the prior tag. Please try this branch.
