to follow up on this story:

On the <http://megapov.inetart.net/povrayunofficial_mac/alphapov.html> 
web page, i downloaded the source for 
"PovRayUnofficial_3.8.0-alpha.10013324-avx" XCode 10 project (XCode is a 
standard IDE).

The last update to this page was on January 15, 2019, which is quite 
some time ago but the project for POVRay has the same structure.

I have included a screenshot of a project window. It clearly shows the 
libraries used: zlib, tiff,... and openexr. We can therefore assume that 
OpenEXR is supported.

I tried to compile the project as is, but I got miles of errors, and to 
make matters worse, the project is version 10, while we are on version 16.

There are a lot of corrections to be made just to adapt the project, and 
I'm not at all comfortable with all of this.


There are compilation errors in the _stdio.h file, which is part of the 
original SDK. I have a feeling this is going to be complicated.
