[vtkusers] Compilation Problem | WinXP, MSys, MinGW | undefined reference to `vtkDataArrayTemplate<int>::WritePointer(int, int)'

[Vincent Nicolas]

Hi Martin, 

I faced a similar problem last week. It was due to the dll export/import directives. They are set for the Microsoft dll compatibility, but will fails the linkage with gcc. So I modified the VTK/Common/vtkWin32Header.h for not defining the VTK_EXPORT(S) macros. I modified the condition on line 101 to return false and declares no EXPORT symbols as in linux compilation. 

It worked for me, hope it'll work for you.
