hi,

i managed to compile megapov 1.0 using cygwin, (i installed
libpng runtime instead of libpng develop, the rest was ok)

i used a standard cygwin install, and added:
 gcc
 binutils
 make
 m4          (i use this for f-cpu in linux)
 python      to run the pov->html script
 libpng      (first runtime, then develop)
 jpeg
 tiff

i used standard unix src + povcyg_350c_src

after "strip" i got a 1,59 Mb EXE, witch works very nicely.
(as long as cygwin1.dll is added)

Q: reading the output of "make -h", this is not what i should do:
make -mno-cygwin  no_disp
but what is the correct way to use the -mno-cygwin options ?

Q i changed:
 #define DISTRIBUTION_MESSAGE_2 VERSIONBUILDERS_MESSAGE
into:
 #define DISTRIBUTION_MESSAGE_2 "VERSIONBUILDERS_MESSAGE"
is that ok? (see next Q.)

Q it doesn't understand the "#version unofficial MegaPOV 1.0;" line
should i define this somewhere in the source ?

can anyone shed some light on this ?
jaap
