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

[William A. Hoffman]

OK, I am not sure what is wrong.
My guess now is that you have a file in your python include, or some
other include path that is picking up another compilers io library somehow.
I do not have iob being referenced in my bcc install.

You could try this:

edit the Makefile in Wrapping/Makefile
Change the targets for vtkWrapPython.obj and vtkParse.tab.obj to use
cpp32 and not bcc32.  Then remove the .obj files and run make in that
directory.   That will fail, but the resulting .obj files will be the
output of the preprocessor.  You can then look at those files and try and
figure out where the reference to iob is coming from.
