[Insight-users] migrating to Borland C++ builder 6

[John Biddiscombe]

I've spent a considerable amount of time in the past making patches to =
ITK for BCB6 and eventually decided that using BCB5 was a better =
solution. In my opinion you should not upgrade to BCB6, there's very =
little new in it anyway.

However, I'll be delighted when you get it working :)

as a first fix, try
USE_OLD_RW_STL or whatever it is to use the old stl. BCB6 supports =
stlport (default) instead of roguewave stl. stlport is better - but you =
can remove many initial problems in vnl/vxl by swapping.

JB
PS. With patch#4 some template problems may be fixed (ho ho), but I've =
not tried building itk for several months.
