The situation is as follows:
I need to set up a working development IDE for the application that
was developed using BDS2006 (C++ Builder). To do that I have to
compile VTK and build the IDE package vtkBorlandRenderWindowPkg.
At the time the developer left the company VTK he used VTK version
5.0.2, so I have tried to get everything as close to that process as
possible.
The CMake used was 2.8.8 so that is what I also used.
I can do this with BDS2006 but it is a long and tedious path to set it
all up (mainly because I don't understand all the workings of
CMake...).

But now I need to move on to the latest compiler, RAD Studio XE4, and
I have tried to follow the leftover how-to:
- Check out tag VTK-5-0-2 of VTK from public.kitware.com via cvs
- Set up environment variables for the souce directory (VTKSRC) and
output binaries (VTKBIN).
- Start CMakeGui and select Borland makefile and the source folder.

At this point I get an error from CMake: "Error in configuration
process, project files may be invalid"...

What does that mean and what can I do about it?
