[vtkusers] Error Generating vtkGLSLShaderLibrary.h

[Carl Trapani]

Hello again,

I've tried the following configuration tweaks and combinations, but no 
luck yet. Anyone got any advice?

Reverted to Eclipse CDT4, same error.
Tried using Eclipse CDT4 - MinGW Makefile generator, got error: can't 
have sh.exe on path.
Ran cmake-gui.exe without MinGW or MSYS on path ( + CDT4 MinGW Makefile 
generator), but got CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM not found error.
Upgraded to MinGW 5.1.4. but now CMAKE_CXX_NOT_FOUND (where did g++.exe 
go? Not in C:\MinGW\bin).

If anyone has successfully used Eclipse CDT + MinGW to compile vtk 
5.2.1, I'd love to know what versions and tricks you've used.
Thanks,
Carl
