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

[Andrea Gavana]

Hello William,

      thanks for the answer. Unfortunately, I don't think that the Borland
compiler installation is the problem. I have just uninstalled it, went back to:

http://www.borland.com/products/downloads/download_cbuilder.html

And I downloaded the free command line tool from there. I re-installed the
compiler. I've read the readme.txt from borland directory, I created the 2
files that are as follows:

1) bcc32.cfg:

-I"c:\Borland\Bcc55\include"
-L"c:\Borland\Bcc55\lib"

2) iling32.cfg:

-L"c:\Borland\Bcc55\lib"

This is what the readme.txt says about the 2 files.
Concerning VTK, I have downloaded the source from:

http://www.vtk.org/files/release/4.4/VTK-4.4-LatestRelease.zip

I unzipped them to C:\VTK, and I have created the directory C:\vtkbin for CMake
(CMake version 2.0, on C:\Programmi\Cmake20). I can "easily" (!) make CMake
working, and it creates the Makefile (strangely, CMake can not find the python
exe, dll and include, even if I put them on the standard installation path
C:\python23. Another doubt I have, is regardin the variable
PYTHON_DEBUG_LIBRARY, I have set it as python23.dll, but I am not sure).
When I run "make" from the dos command prompt, the errors I get are:

Determining if the include file unistd.h exists failed with the following
output:

I don't know what to do...

Thanks for every suggestion.

Andrea.
