[vtkusers] build errors

[Amy Squillacote]

Hi Kivilcim,

Did you download the source code for VTK 5.0.4, or did you use the 
installer for Windows? In order to use VTK from C++, you have to compile 
VTK yourself from source code. After you run CMake on VTK, then you must 
open the solution file it creates for your version of Visual Studio, and 
compile VTK. Once VTK is built, then you can use it in your own C++ 
projects.

If you had already built VTK from source code, then in your example 
program, are you linking against vtkFiltering? That's the library that 
contains vtkPolyData.
