Hi!  I'm trying to build VTK 5.0.3 in Parallels 3.0 emulating XP Pro
'02 SP2 in Mac OS 10.4.10.  I'm using the compiler/linker furnished with
VC++ 2005 Express Edition Version 8.0 w/ .NET Framework version
2.0.50727.  I downloaded and apparently successfully installed CMake 2.4
Patch 7.  I tried to use it to build VTK and received the following
error message:

"CMake Error: the C compiler 'cl' is not able to compile a simple test
program.  It fails with the following output:

...

Linking...
LINK: fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'user32.lib'"

I used Windows' search on my C drive - sure enough, no user32.lib to be
found.  What is this file, where am I supposed to have
obtained it from, and why would I not have it when VTK/CMake is
expecting me to?  Thanks!

DG
