[vtkusers] Problem Compiling VTK-4.4 With Cmake-Borland

[Andrea Gavana]

Does anyone have a suggestion? I'm crashing my head on this error, there is
nothing starting/finishing with "_iob" in the function mentioned by Borland...

I've tried also a cl compiler I have on my PC (downloaded from microsoft site,
called "Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003", (specifying NMake in the CMake
GUI), but this is the error I get:

Determining if the C compiler works failed with the following output:
Building object file testCCompiler.obj...

	cl @C:\DOCUME~1\ag12905\IMPOST~1\Temp\nma01472.

testCCompiler.c

Building executable C:\vtkbin\CMakeTmp\cmTryCompileExec.exe...

	cl /nologo @C:\DOCUME~1\ag12905\IMPOST~1\Temp\nmb01472.

LINK : warning LNK4224: /PDBTYPE is no longer supported;  ignored

testCCompiler.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __RTC_Shutdown

testCCompiler.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __RTC_InitBase

C:\vtkbin\CMakeTmp\cmTryCompileExec.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 2 unresolved
externals

NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'cl' : return code '0x2'

Stop.

Eventually, I also have the MingW32-g++/c++ that comes with the Python Enthought
Edition (downloaded from Enthought)... Can I use this C/C++ compiler with
CMake? And if the answer is yes, can someone tell me how?

I didn't expect that building VTK-4.4 could have been such a nightmare...

Thank you for every suggestion.

Andrea.
