Do you get any errors?  Does it look like it's doing anything?  There
are hundreds of lines output from ./prebuild.sh .
It is difficult to diagnose your problem based on

" Well, no ;-) "

I see:
$ wget https://github.com/POV-Ray/povray/archive/v3.7.0.0.tar.gz
$ tar -xvzf v3.7.0.0.tar.gz
$ cd povray-3.7.0.0/unix/
$ ./prebuild.sh
$ cd ..
$ ls

Jr would know for sure, but if you are using a recent Slackware you may
want to use v3.7.0.7

(Ubuntu 18 has build issues with 3.7.0.0 but works fine with 3.7.0.7)
