DATAFILE_DIR is expected to be defined in "config.h".
"config.h.win32" is probably a good starting point for the "config.h" to
be used with Borland C++ Builder, although, as it was written for
MSVC++, it may require changes (I have no idea what changes it might
require, as I have no familiarity whatsoever with Borland C++ Builder).
The "Makefile.nmake" for use with MSVC++ makes "config.h" depend on
"config.h.win32", so "nmake" will filter "config.h.win32" through "sed"
(building with MSVC++ requires that you have a number of UNIX tools
installed, e.g. from Cygwin) if "config.h" doesn't exist or has a
modification time before that of "config.h.win32". If Borland C++
Builder has a "make"-like program and the equivalent of Makefiles, you
might want to do something similar in the Makefile-equivalent you're
constructing.
(I'm CCing the reply to "ethereal-dev" - these are more
"ethereal-dev"-type questions than "ethereal-users"-type questions.)
