Hi,

I'm trying to compile povray3.50 in cygwin.
./configure worked, but when doing make there are quite some typecasting
errors. I know that I should start at the first occurred error, but hey i'm
just too lazy..... and that kind compile errors should not happen in the
downloaded sources?

I put the make output at http://www.elje.net/make_output_povray-3.50c.txt so
you guys can see what this is all about.

I just hope I'm just being stupid here!

Regards,
Apache

  You certainly should. It tells exactly what is the problem:

povxlib.h:26:22: X11/Xlib.h: No such file or directory
povxlib.h:27:23: X11/Xutil.h: No such file or directory

  That's the only problem there is. All the other error messages are simply
cause by the above.

  You have to add a +I option with a path to the X11 librarues to the
compilation commands, ie. something like "+I/some/path/to/X11".

  The configure script is not perfect and does not seem to behave correctly
(eg. issue an error or whatever) if X11 is not found.

  If you have no X11 libraries, then you have to compile without X11 support.
This happens by adding the compilation option -DX_DISPLAY_MISSING

[1rgb 9]}scale<D,D*3D>*1e3}rotate y*A*8}#end M(-3<1.206434.28623>70,7)M(
