Yes, but you on Mac is actually does nopt fully depend on the compiler.

If you are using the PowerPC version of MegaPOV, here is how you can change
is using ResEdit (make a backup copy of the application first!!!):

- Open the MegaPOV application in ResEdit (you need ResEdit 2.1.x or later)
  Make sure MegaPOV is not running while doing this!
- Locate the resources of type 'cfrg'
- Open the list of 'cfrg' resources
- Then open 'cfrg' resource number 0
- A window with 'cfrg ID = 0 from XXXX' (XXX = name of application)
- Scroll down to the '1) member' section
- Locate the 'App Stack' field.
- The value is the 'App Stack' field is the stack size in bytes
- Change it to something large, i.e. 600000 or just double the value in
  there
- Close the window and save the appliaction (just close ResEdit)
- Start MegaPOV and it should all work now
