[Insight-users] migrating to Borland C++ builder 6

[Dean Inglis]

Hi,

I am upgrading to BCB6 from BCB5.  My build attempt
fails with CMake 1.6.6, MinSizeRel build on Windows 2000.
VTK cvs interstingly enough builds and tests clean. Without
really digging into vcl,vxl,vnl, I naively included headers
when required to keep the build proceeeding:

#include <stdlib.h> for atof in Utilities/metaUtils.cxx
#include <ctype.h>  for isdigit in Utilities/vxl/vnl/vnl_bignum.cxx
#include <stdlib.h>  for atol in Utilities/vxl/vnl/vnl_bignum.cxx
#include <ctype.h> for isspace in Utilities/vxl/vnl/vnl_matrix.txx
#include <stdlib.h> for qsort in Utilities/vxl/vnl/algo/vnl_amoeba.cxx

and in Utilities/vxl/CMakeLists.txt
SET(BUILD_TESTING 0)
SET(BUILD_EXAMPLES 0)
to bypass a fail due to:

then ...

#include <math.h> for sqrt in Code/Common/itkitkVersor.txx
#include <math.h> for sqrt in
Code/Numerics/Statistics/itkNormalVariateGenerator.cxx

and the build finally fails in Code/Numerics/FEM:

Can someone with the expertise assist in getting BCB6 up and running?
