I have been trying to compile a Mac version of UVPov, but the compile
crashes immediately on startup. The crash does not occur when I compile
for the POV.PPC-dbg target, but does happen for the POV.PPC target. I
have not tested any others.
Here is some info from a MacsBug StdLog:

PowerPC unmapped memory exception at 0C92D298 p2w_NewWindow+001AC

And a short chunk of the calling chain:
   03AEA488    03AEA480    PPC   0C90F9D0 main+0000C
   03AEA478    03AEA470    PPC   00216570 NewRoutineDescriptor+00030

   03AEA358    03AEA350    PPC   0C92D280 p2w_NewWindow+00194

It is obviously in the p2w_NewWindow() function in the file
Printf2Window.c, I think toward the end. I don't know much about ToolBox
programming, though, and can't narrow it down further. :-(
Since this is in the Mac specific source, I suspect there is a bug there
which only shows up when using the UVPov source for some reason. Maybe
this should go to the Macintosh group?

Also, in order to get it to compile, I had to comment out some lines in
photons.c because I kept getting this error:
    Error   : struct/union/enum/class tag 'byte_xyz' redefined
    photons.c line 2103   struct byte_xyz {
These are the lines I commented out:
/*typedef struct byte_xyz BYTE_XYZ;

struct byte_xyz {
  unsigned char x, y, z;
};*/

I have downloaded and installed the upgrades to the latest version of
CodeWarrior and the Universal Interfaces.
