The .POV file is not compiled but interpreted.

 From the console or command line, you only need a line with pvengine.exe.
In this case, it's normaly followed by the .INI file that will set the 
.POV file to render and the required options, or simply with the part 
and name of the .POV file and some settings as the desired resolution 
and AA settings.

The Windows version of POV-Ray will always display the editor. There is 
NO switch to prevent that.

If you don't want the editor/GUI to be present, you should get the 
Unix/Limux version and compile it yourself.
