Dear All,
I am trying to compile povray on my windows xp sp3, using msvc 2008 v9 nmake. I
continously endup with the following error:

//********************************************************************************

Stop.

I am aware, that msvc uses specific min/max macros that may interfere with
povray source code during compilation. I know the NOMINMAX preprocessor
definition and was trying to apply it in the makefile, but it didn't change
much - still the same error. I was trying to use #undef min, max macros in the
original source code, but it seems little elegant, and doesn't work.
Do You have any suggestions, maybe there is something I am doing wrong or
something that I am missing.
Best,
Lukasz
