[vtkusers] linking vtk application, mingw

[c674]

Thanks for your reply!
Yes, so far I did not use cmake. I could only find tutorials using cmake to
build vtk, none to build my own applications using it - would using it make
a difference?

I did not include all libraries for I did not need them when linking on my
linux system. But even when I link to all libraries I could find in my vtk
lib folder, using 
<g++ main.o postprocessor.o -L C:\msys\1.0\lib\vtk-5.2 -lvtkNetCDF
-lvtkverdict -lvtkRendering -lvtkzlib -lvtkViews -lvtkVolumeRendering
-lvtkWidgets -lvtkexoIIc -lvtkexpat -lvtkCommon -lvtkfreetype
-lvtkDICOMParser -lvtkftgl -lvtkFiltering -lvtkjpeg -lvtkGenericFiltering
-lvtklibxml2 -lvtkGraphics -lvtkmetaio -lvtkHybrid -lvtkpng -lvtkIO
-lvtksqlite -lvtkImaging -lvtksys -lvtkInfovis -lvtktiff>
I still geta huge list of undefined references like this (random excerpt):
C:\msys\1.0\lib\vtk-5.2/libvtkHybrid.a(vtkImplicitModeller.obj):vtkImplicitModel
ler.cxx:(.text$_Z32vtkImplicitModellerAppendExecuteIhEvP19vtkImplicitModellerP10
vtkDataSetP12vtkImageDatadPT_[void vtkImplicitModellerAppendExecute<unsigned
cha
r>(vtkImplicitModeller*, vtkDataSet*, vtkImageData*, double, unsigned
char*)]+0x
520): undefined reference to `vtkImageIterator<unsigned char>::NextSpan()'
C:\msys\1.0\lib\vtk-5.2/libvtkIO.a(vtkDataWriter.obj):vtkDataWriter.cxx:(.text+0
x4b5c): undefined reference to `vtkByteSwap::SwapWrite2BERange(void const*,
int,
 std::ostream*)'
C:\msys\1.0\lib\vtk-5.2/libvtkIO.a(vtkDataWriter.obj):vtkDataWriter.cxx:(.text+0
x4bb4): undefined reference to `vtkByteSwap::SwapWrite4BERange(void const*,
int,
 std::ostream*)'

I'd be grateful for any more input!
