Hmm, i already thought of '\b', didn't search enough though.

It also still seems obscure why it does beep with -p in Windows but not on
Linux...

Will change that when i recompile the files the next time.

It actually is a MinGW compile, just done with the cygwin tools (it does
not need the cygwin DLL).  You also need the MinGW package in addition for
compiling it, since some of the libraries only come with cygwin as a
cygwin version.  I'm not sure if it compiles with only MinGW, but it's
easier with the complete cygwin environment anyway.

Of course Christoph's solution is good enough but if you some way find windows
compilation somehow better (for example for speed) there is also solution for
windows version. A little brutal but it is. Here is list of things to do (you
need small external utylity):

o) run pvengine.exe (windows version)
o) check on menu Options -> Other settings -> Save settings on exit
o) minimize window
o) right click on minimized POV-Ray
o) exit POV-Ray
o) run it again

o) check off menu Options -> Other settings -> Save settings on exit
o) exit POV-Ray
o) open [POV-Ray dir]/renderer/povray.ini with any text editor
o) add line Post_Scene_Command=kill -f pvengine

adventage : you can still maximize window and observe all outputs
disadventage : you have to run only one POV to avoid mistakes during automatic
killing

kill.exe is very popular tool to killing processes
perhaps there is other less brutal method to do it but currently I can't find it

I don't like this method - I just listed it to show it is possible

I'm probably not going to modify any source code, but I'd like to have a try in
compiling it anyway. Do you have a makefile to compile with cygwin? (Or does the one
in the unix directory actually work?) And I read there about libpng and libz - do I
need them, and if so, where would i get them?

Thanks,
Elias Pschernig

  You should read the whole answer. It also says:

If you are using the windows version of POV-Ray, you can try
Render -> On Completion -> Remove [v] in front of "Beep".

It's all coming with the source package (libraries) or is available on my
site (makefiles), just read the instructions there.  Anyway some basic
knowledge on makefiles and compiling in unix environments would be
helpful.

(BTW adding line breaks in your postings would be a good idea)

I don't know about MegaPOV but in POV-Ray 3.1g has this option in the render
menu under On Completion.
