[vtkusers] problems installing vtk on a PC

[Reagan Penner]

Hello, I am trying to get VTK up and running on my PC. I am following
the instructions included in the Readme file that came with VTK they are
as follows:

PC Installation

The PC build process uses the CMake GUI CMakeSetup. Then you use the
compiler make utility to compile as follows.

  1) Install the VTK 4.2 distribution by unzipping into the
     appropriate directory.

  2) Execute CMakeSetup. This will pop-up a little
     GUI that allows you to tailor the build. It then starts
     building .dsw and .dsp files for Microsoft, or makefiles for
Borland.
     You'll have to tell CMakeSetup where you've placed your VTK source
     code, and where to build the object code and dll's
     (we'll call it "vtkbin").

  3) When CMakeSetup completes, start up msdev and load VTK.dsw.
     Select ALL_BUILD project, and build it.


I have unzipped the source to C:\VTK and am now trying to get the cmake
stuff to work. I start CMakeSetup and then set the source directory to
c:\vtk and the destination directory to c:\vtk. I select Build For
(Borland makefiles) as I have c++ builder on my machine. I then click
configure as OK is grayed out. I then get the following errors:

CMake Error: Generator: execution of make failed.
(Press Cancel to suppress any further messages.)

if I press ok instead of Cancel I get another error:

CMake will not be able to correctly generate this project.

this continues:

CMake Error: Error in configuration process, project files may be
invalid

can anyone help me with this as I really don't know where to go from
here.

thanks ......... Reagan Penner
