[vtkusers] How to get around "eatwhite" error whern building VTK on Windows???

[BosseB]

Trying to build VTK 5.4.2 retrieved via CVS on tag VTK-5-4-2 on a
Windows XP Pro machine with Borland BDS2006:

I previously had a CMake showstopper which was caused by some
misconfiguration of the BDS2006 compilator as explained in this post:
http://www.gidforums.com/t-2310.html
Last post in this thread directed me to the cfg files which of course
did not even exist. So I created them as directed and now CMake
finishes OK. Currently I have thios in my bcc32.cfg file:
-I"C:\Programs\Borland\BDS\4.0\include";"C:\Programs\Borland\BDS\4.0\include\dinkumware"
-L"C:\Programs\Borland\BDS\4.0\lib"


But when I go to vtkbin and run make I get half a screenful of normal
messages and then I am getting this error:

c:\engineering\opensource\vtk\utilities\kwsys\directory.cxx:
Error E2316
C:\Engineering\OpenSource\vtkbin\Utilities\vtksys/stl/string.hxx 56:
'eatwhite' is not a member of 'istream'
 in function operator >>(istream &,string &)

What is causing this and what can I do to get around it?
