[vtkusers] compiling issues

Tue Mar 17 03:42:04 EDT 2009

Hello,
If you use the static libraries, only what is really needed will be linked
in.
Simple point the liker to the directory contiaining all vtk libs and add all
libs
as link objects using cut+paste from some VTK example. I dont think there is
a more convenient method.

regards,
Oliver
