[vtkusers] Problem with compiling and linking static libraries

[Cally K]

this is the error



vtkVolumeProperty.cxx:(.text+0x1a81): undefined reference to
`vtkColorTransferFunction::New()'
vtkVolumeProperty.cxx:(.text+0x1afb): undefined reference to
`vtkColorTransferFunction::AddRGBPoint(double, double, double, double)'
vtkVolumeProperty.cxx:(.text+0x1b29): undefined reference to
`vtkColorTransferFunction::AddRGBPoint(double, double, double, double)'

and so much more... all about undefined reference,


and when I try using the libraries in VTKbuild/bin

linked them this way --

g++ -o Cone Cone.o
-I/home/kalpanak/Installation_Files/VTKProject/VTKbuildprefix/include/vtk-5.0
-L/home/kalpanak/Installation_Files/VTKProject/VTKbuildprefix/lib -lGL -lGLU
-L/home/kalpanak/Installation_Files/VTKProject/VTKbuild/bin/libvtkCommon.a
-L/home/kalpanak/Installation_Files/VTKProject/VTKbuild/bin/libvtkFiltering.a
-L/home/kalpanak/Installation_Files/VTKProject/VTKbuild/bin/libvtkGraphics.a

-L/home/kalpanak/Installation_Files/VTKProject/VTKbuild/bin/libvtkHybrid.a
-L/home/kalpanak/Installation_Files/VTKProject/VTKbuild/bin/libvtkImaging.a



I get this error
