Has anyone managed to get Povray 3.6.1 to build under Cygwin? Configure
fails for me:

...
creating Makefile
creating jconfig.h
configure.gnu: editing Makefile

configure: configuring in libraries/tiff
configure: running /bin/bash './configure.gnu' --prefix=/usr/local 
'COMPILED_BY=Ross Smith <ros### [at] pharosconz>' --cache-file=/dev/null 
--srcdir=.
configure.gnu: configuring libtiff 3.6.1
configure.gnu: running ./configure --noninteractive --with-DSO=no 
--prefix=/usr/local     --srcdir=.

Configuring TIFF Software v3.6.1

If configure does the wrong thing, check the file config.log for
information that may help you understand what went wrong.

Reading site-wide parameters from ./config.site.
Here we are again, this time on a i686-pc-cygwin system.

Cannot locate a working ANSI C compiler.

We attempted to compile the following test program:

----------------------------------------------------------
main(int argc, char* argv) { exit(0); }
----------------------------------------------------------

with these compilers:

      gcc

but none of them were successful.

If your compiler is in a non-standard location, you can specify its
location in several ways:

     o set the environment variable CC
     o create a config.local or config.site file that includes a
       definition for CC
     o supply it on the command line using -with-CC=<pathname>

If command line options are required for ANSI C compilation, set the
ENVOPTS parameter to these options in a similar way (either through
an environment variable or config.local/config.site) and then rerun
this script.
configure:
configure: Unrecoverable error!  Once you've corrected the problem rerun 
this script.



===============================================================================
POV-Ray 3.6.1 has been configured with the following features:
   I/O restrictions: enabled
   X Window display: enabled
   SVGAlib display : disabled

Type 'make' to build, and 'make install' to install all files in the 
hierarchy
/usr/local
===============================================================================
