[vtkusers] vtk 3.2 static library in an ActiveX control - Link errors - need help

[Ted Christiansen]

Hello,

I am developing an ActiveX control for use in a webpage.  I would like
to compile it using the static library version of vtk 3.2 as I dont want
users to have to download the 8 MB DLL when I am only using a small
portion of the functions in the vtklib.dll.

Have the Kitware folks done this with their PolyViz ActiveX control?
Their help would be appreciated.

I am having trouble compiling it whlie linking in a static version of
vtk 3.2.  The libraries I am linking with: vtkstatic.lib opengl32.lib.
With MFC static I get these errors and warnings:

I have tried excluding the offending libraries but this leads to missing
symbols.  Has anyone successfully done this?   Any help would be
appreciated.
