[vtkusers] Build problems with Cygwin

[Carl Hetherington]

Hi,

I'm trying to build a CVS checkout of VTK (from a few days ago) using
a fresh install of Cygwin on Windows 98.

It gets a fair old way down the line before bombing out with

(this has been slightly re-formatted by pine...)

...

c++ -g -O2 -mwin32 -I/usr/local/src/VTK/CVS-nightly/VTK/Common/Testing/Cxx

/usr/local/src/VTK/CVS-nightly/VTK/bin//libvtkCommon.a(vtkWin32OutputWindow.o):
In function `vtkWin32OutputWindow::Initialize(void)':

...

GetStockObject appears to be a Win32 API function; perhaps there should be
a -mwindows on that last link line?  The libraries seem to be a bit
mucked up anyway with the repeated -lpthread -lm -lvtkCommon.

Can anyone help?

I'm also having problems building the Python bindings, but that's another
story :-o

Thanks
