[vtkusers] VTK static link with Qt app on Mac OS X

[André Prins]

Hi Gib,

Although I am not a Mac user, my first guess would be that you are
missing some Apple/Mac libraries when linking. Perhaps -lAGL -lCocoa
(or -lCarbon).

You could try to google for the exact libraries corresponding to the
missing symbols. Alternatively, you could check which libraries were
used to link vtkRendering.

Regards,
Andre
