[vtkusers] RE: using vtk with Borland Builder 6.0

[Xianjin Yang]

Hi Johnson,

These are basic steps to install VTK for BCB.

1) Download the source code, either stable release such as 4.2 or a less buggy
nightly version based on the dashboard.
2) Create makefiles using Cmake. Be sure to choose a right compiler and build
TCL wrapper for convenience of running TCL example and testing code.
3) Convert TCL libs from coff to omf by following the instruction in the VTK
source directory VTK\README.html (Common Problems), 
"Link error with borland: TCL82.LIB contains invalid OMF record, type 0x21
(possibly COFF). You have to convert Tcl libraires from coff to omf with the
Borland utilitiy coff2omf. Once you have created OMF versions, re-run cmake to
tell it where the Borland versions of Tcl and Tk are located. Also, make sure
that you are using Tcl/Tk 8.3.2. "
4) Go to the directory where you create the makefile, and type (run) make from
the command line. This may take 2~3 hours.
5) Go to the directory \VTK\Examples\GUI\Win32\vtkBorland and install the
Package. Follow the instruction in the readme.txt. After installation of this
package, vtkBorlandRenderWindow should appear in your BCB VCL.
6) Run the ProjectDemo \VTK\Examples\GUI\Win32\vtkBorland.

Good luck.

Yang
