[vtkusers] Troubles compiling VTK 5.6.0 with Borland / Embarcadero C++ compiler

[hagbard]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to get VTK 5.6.0 to compile under Windows with bcc32 6.21 (which
is included in Embarcadero C++ Builder 2010). I am not doing this by choice,
I'd much rather use a more mainstream compiler like MinGW gcc or the MSVC++
compiler (or even better, gcc under Unix), but I need to integrate VTK into
an existing application that is developed with C++ Builder and the VCL GUI
framework.

I generated a Borland Makefile with CMake and tried to build it with
Embarcadero Make. However, the build process apparently fails when compiling
vtkYoungsMaterialInterface.cxx. This problem also affects ParaView 3.8.0
since it seems to use VTK 5.6.0. Any help would be much appreciated!

I get the following output:
