Oki... ;-)

Could it be that part of your rewrite (Do_Average_Normals --> cu...) is
incomplete and conflicting on TNORMAL ? (such as existing in more than
one form: the povray one and another one ?)

You should search for the definition (in your source tree) of BLEND_MAP,
TNORMAL & TPATTERN.

From the 3.6.1 unix code (your code might vary):

In source/frame.h, TNORMAL is a struct Tnormal_Struct
struct Tnormal_Struct
{
  TPATTERN_FIELDS
  SNGL Amount;
  SNGL Delta; /* NK delta */
};

TPATTERN is a struct struct Pattern_Struct
struct Pattern_Struct
{
  TPATTERN_FIELDS
};

TPATTERN_FIELDS is a collection of fields, happily mixing union & struct.

If no reordering occured (such as asking the compiler to compact the
structure... a nice option which is strongly discouraged with povray),
there should be no problem to cast a TNORMAL* into a TPATTERN*.
(as long as both are what we thing they are).

But error on Tnormal make me believe the type TNORMAL is not from
frame.h for your compilation.

A Windows C++ expert is probably needed.

Now, there is that __device__ keyword... inlining code might have issue
with structures & casting. You might want to rewrite the casted pointer
as a reference instead... I do not know if it would work.
