Not sure here but it appears that standalone is "all of what you typically
expect from VTK" and not "just VTK's data processing sans rendering".
Marcus can you confirm.

It might be just that examples is on on this machine and those don't
understand its module dependencies.

See also the no render karego-at build. For that I turned off both
standalone and rendering and then turned on just a core module. Once Marcus
tells us how to do it properly I'll configure both machines the same and
we'll know if it is cygwin specific issue.


Does anybody even care about VTK on Cygwin? If so, could those who

+1 for not testing (and thus claiming to support) cygwin, that dashboard
has been broken for years. Turning off rendering was my attempt a few
months ago to get by without digging in my heels.

Unless their is a user out there who cares, I don't think we should spend
time on cygwin.
