[vtkusers] Cygwin library link dependencies for nightly build

[Gregory Bleiker]

Dear all,

I'm trying to run a program with the static libraries I compiled with cygwin from the nightly sources. The build runs fine, but I can't get my program (that runs with VTK4.0) to link. The sequence of the "-lvtkxx" seems to be very important and "-lvktCommon" must be at the end. Is there a right way to do this? Do I have to run ranlib or ar or something of the kind to use these libraries? Any tools?
Here's what happens when I try to compile:

$ make -f Makefile.win
g++.exe qcview2.o vtktryout.res -o "vtktryout.exe" -L"E:\Dev-C++\lib" -L"E:\VTK\bin" -lvtkIO  -lvtkFiltering -lvtkGraphics    -l
vtkImaging -lvtkjpeg -lvtkpng -lvtkzlib -lvtkCommon -lvtkRendering -lopengl32 -I"E:\VTK\IO"  -I"E:\VTK\Common"  -I"E:\VTK\Filter
ing"  -I"E:\VTK"  -I"E:\VTK\Rendering"  -I"E:\VTK\Graphics"  -I"E:\VTK\Imaging"  -mwindows -static --verbose -s
