Is there either a way to run POV without having actually run the install
program (i.e all program files but no registry entries) or an unofficial
compile that doesn't use the reg. entries? I'd like to be able to use POV at
school, but the security won't allow registry changes.

SkyPOV ( http://www.geocities.com/Rengaw03/povray.html ) can work without
the registry entries.  I developed it on my university's computers, and for
some reason, the install program won't run on them, so the registry entries
couldn't be set up.

The Cygwin version does not need registry entries, but be aware it's just
text mode and also usually slower than the GUI version:

Thank you. It still retains all the regular POV features, correct?

And what is most important there is no (published) version of it for POV 3.5 *)

*) of  course I know it is beta time but it could allow test some slower
features on faster machines in my company without agresive changing enviroment
(they are important machines)

It says it needs MegaPOV or POV 3.1 installed (and it also seems to want
that annoying HOME= entry in the registry), but the reason I was looking for
this kind of thing in the first place was because I couldn't run the install
program.

BTW, it could turn out to be more difficult that you may think, the
-mno-cygwin flag only works with C and not C++ so you will either have to
use the Cygwin DLL (which would be problematic for a binary release) or
use the MinGW gcc instead.

have you tested DJGPP ?

No, but AFAIK that's a DOS port of gcc, not exactly what would be useful
here.

I'm not sure what you are talking about (is 3.5 written in C++?), but
compiling the "povcyg" version with mingw instead of cygwin is no problem, I
only had to change the pathes in the makefile..
