[Insight-developers] Borland compiler

[Miller, James V (CRD)]

The other gotcha is that you have to read the instructions on 
installing the BCC compiler.

Whereever you installed the compiler, you need to create the files
bcc32.cfg and ilink32.cfg in the Bin directory where bcc32.exe is.
You setup the default system include and link paths in these files.
Without this, the compiler cannot find the standard includes like
stdio.h, etc.

You mileage may vary.  I put the compiler under "Program Files"
instead of where it defaulted to "C:/Borland/"

It may be a VTK version problem.  The UseVTK.cmake file is actually part
of VTK and not CMake.  I am using the current VTK cvs.

Also, I guess there is a problem with Insights cmake list files.
Perhaps there should be an option to force it NOT to use VTK even if it finds one.
