[vtkusers] OpenGL2 linking issues with VTK 7.1.1 and 8.1.0 for Windows 10

[David Gobbi]

Hi Thuc,

The vtkRenderingOpenGL_AutoInit_Construct method is declared via the
VTK_AUTOINIT() macro in vtkRenderingOpenGLModule.h.  If I recall correctly,
if a project includes any header from Rendering/OpenGL (either directly or
indirectly) then your project will look for the vtkRenderingOpenGL_AutoInit
methods.

The strange thing is, if you have an OpenGL2 build of VTK, then the
vtkRenderingOpenGLModule.h
header should not even exist.  But since you are getting this build error,
it seems that this header does exist, and your project is indirectly
including it somehow.

Do a search of your VTK installation to make sure that
vtkRenderingOpenGL2Module.h
exists and that vtkRenderingOpenGLModule.h does not exists.

 - David
