I see that the windows source for version 3.6 only comes with project files
for Visual Studio .NET.

I only have VS 6.

Has anyone tried compiling it with VC6? If so, is there somewhere to
download the workspace/project files? I've looked around and couldn't find
anything.

thanks

POV-Ray will not compile because the VC 6 compiler does not support all
standard features of C++.  VC 6 is very old (six years iirc).  You will need
VC 7.1 (aka VC 2003) to compile the POV-Ray source code.
