[Paraview] Linking errors when building ParaView v3.98.0 with VS2008

[Nenad Vujicic]

Hello everyone,

I tried to build release sources ParaView v3.98.0 in x64 mode with
VS2008 SP1, built Python 2.7.3 x64, built Qt 4.8.3 x64, built OpenMPI
v1.6.3 x64 and got some linking errors. All other projects were built
fine and everything works fine so far, except pvpython subsystem. Do
You have some idea how I could solve these issues?

Here are linking errors:
