[vtkusers] problem with vtkBorlandRenderWindowpkg creation step in BCB6

[Dean Inglis]

Xianjin,

if you are using the vtk latest release binaries, you can
find everything by first typing a DOS command in a Windows command
prompt when in the root vtk42 directory:
 dir /S > my_vtk_dir_paths.txt 

For the BCB component, try linking to the libs in vtk42\lib\vtk
and set the include path to vtk42\include\vtk.
I'm not familiar with the latest release compile, but I would
think that you would have to do a coff2omf on all the libs
to make them compatable with Borland since they are
probably generated with MSVC.  Your best bet is to 
learn to build vtk from scratch (using a cvs checkout) 
with CMake using Borland as your compiler.  I have a 
folder with nothing but cvs source checkouts: e.g.
c:\Builder\Sources contains 
c:\Builder\Sources\VTK
c:\Builder\Sources\ITK
c:\Builder\Sources\CMake
and I build out of source with CMake to a build dir:
c:\Builder\Releases containing
c:\Builder\Releases\vtkRelease
etc. etc.
If you do get the component built from the binary vtk 
distribution, post a note to the list or myself and I
can update the readme instructions for the component.
 
BTW, You will need WinCvs to do the checkout and cygwin if
you are interested in doing scripted nightly builds.
