Hello Andy,<br>
I'm using Borland C++ builder 6. Not the free compiler.<br>
It seems old version (free) runs better than newer. ITK for example
does not compile and is not supported for bcc6.<br>
And VTK is now incredibly big too. More than maximum allowed by Borland
limits especially compiling in debug mode or static linkage. [

<br>
Converting to omf is enough only for pure C functions. For C++ we have
different naming conventions.<br>

<span class="txt">there are differences in the schemes that
different vendors adopt to mangle member names. The ANSI C++ standard
does not govern the specifications of how a compiler should mangle
class member names. Today, in absence of a strict standard in place,
all the vendors have each developed their own techniques for name
mangling, and the resulting conventions are certainly not compatible</span><br>
<br>
However my idea ( if applicable ) will result applicable only to dlls
with release compilation option because different environments uses
different intermediate/debug files. It could me my proposal could be
completely useless but.. I'd like to hear your opinion.<br>
Any comments?<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi Luca,
What exactly is the problem with VTK and Borland? We run nightly
dashboard of VTK on borland with and without Tcl wrapping.
That said, you could run a custom command that converts libraries to omf
format if that is what you want.

development with VTK/ITK etc.
However due to Borland compiler bugs it is impossible to successfully
compile VTK > 4.4.
I do not know when and if those bugs will be resolved but a possible
solution can be wrapping classes from DLLs from Microsoft compiler and
include them in the project.
This work is pretty hard due of impilib impdef etc tools that have to
be invoked and manual text files we have to produce to include every
single function from MS-DLLs.
Is there or there will be, any way to do it automatically with cmake?
Thank you,
Luca
