[vtkusers] Problems building fresh CVS checkout on FreeBSD

[Mark Coletti]

Hiyas!

I've unsuccessfully tried to build vtk on my FreeBSD box.  Here's what
I get:

c++  -g -O2 -fPIC   -I.  -I. -I./../graphics -DVTK_USE_GRAPHICS -I./../imaging -DVTK_USE_IMAGING -I./../patented -DVTK_USE_PATENTED -I./../contrib -DVTK_USE_CONTRIB  -I/usr/X11R6/include/GL   -I/usr/X11R6/include  -I./../common -I../common

I'm running FreeBSD 4.1.1-RELEASE and am using g++ 2.95.2.

Also, I notice that you're using autoconf, but neither automake nor
libtool.  Are you planning on using those to ease port and maintenance
burdens?

Cheers!
