Povray 3.7

1. Went into unix directory
2. ./prebuild.sh goes fine
3. cd to main directory
4. ./configure COMPILED_BY=" " ends up with:


checking which architecture to optimize for... x86_64-unknown-freebsd9.2 (using
-march=native)

Makefiles

configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: error: cannot find input file: `Makefile.in'



Incidentally, it compiles fine in Debian 7.

Hmmmm... this is interesting.

If I run ./prebuild.sh on the Linux machine, then copy the entire directory over
to the FreeBSD machine, ./configure will run without a hitch. Unfortunately,
compiling via make will fail unless the following is done

CFLAGS="-Dlseek64" CXXFLAGS=$CFLAGS ./configure

which ends up with

Aha! Needed to add #include <sys/wait.h> in vfe/unix/vfeplatform.cpp

So, to compile on FreeBSD 9.2

1. ./prebuild.sh  on a Linux system
2. copy entire directory to FreeBSD system
3. add #include <sys/wait.h> in vfe/unix/vfeplatform.cpp
4. CFLAGS="-Dlseek64=lseek" CXXFLAGS=$CLFAGS ./configure

This is a known issue with BSD-style systems, first reported for OS X; 
see GitHub issue #7 for the problem, and how OS X people currently work 
around it:

https://github.com/POV-Ray/povray/issues?state=open

You might also want to read issue #9, and maybe also #5 and #10.

The dev team have already looked into this, and made some code changes 
that will hopefully address the problems, but that code hasn't made its 
way into the Git repo yet.

How about two prebuild.sh scripts, one for Linux systems and one for BSD
systems?

The differences are comparatively minor, so having two scripts would 
probably just add unnecessary maintenance overhead for the future. If 
the fix we've come up doesn't work, the next best thing would probably 
be a small conditional block in the prebuild.sh script, governed either 
by some smart BSD-detection code or a simple script parameter.
