It is strongly, strongly suggested that you use CMake to generate your
project. It will handle all of the include paths, linker paths, and linked
libraries for you automatically. Just use something like this, where here
we are building a project called "Sphere" and the only source file is
Sphere.cxx.

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)
 PROJECT(Sphere)
 find_package(VTK REQUIRED)include(${VTK_USE_FILE})
 add_executable(Sphere Sphere.cxx)target_link_libraries(Sphere ${VTK_LIBRARIES})
