Hi!

pkgsrc contains a number of patches to povray-3.6.1.

First, a fix for compiling against the latest png library (1.4.2), following
http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/src/libpng-1.2.x-to-1.4.x-summary.txt:

Second:
SunPro is a little picky about the places in which the "const" qualifier
is significant, so make sure that the function prototypes match their
declarations in the header file.

Note that the current versions are povray-3.6.2 and 
povray-3.7.0.beta.37a, and that current development versions may already 
include various other changes.

Did you verify that this is still backward compatible with earlier 
versions of libpng?

Such a change has already been implemented in change #4827 for the 
POV-Ray 3.6 branch (unfortunately just a few days late for 3.6.2); in 
the POV-Ray 3.7 branch, there is neither such a file, nor such functions 
as far as I can see.


> Third:

This has also been fixed in change #4827, and also in 3.7.0.beta.31.

I guess the developers will not respond too well to such requests, 
especially when accompanied by exclamation marks. For future code 
submissions, you may want to try submitting (A) a detailed problem 
report (preferably on bugs.povray.org), accompanied by (B) a solution 
/proposal/, rather than a demand.

povray-3.6.2 is not available as sources for Unix, AFAICT. Am I missing
something?

trans_alpha doesn't exist for png<1.4, so if you still want to support earlier
versions, something like
#if PNG_LIBPNG_VER < 10400
#define trans_alpha trans
#endif
is needed.

Good to hear that.

Very good.

I'm sorry if the exclamation mark made you think of my request as a demand, it
was not meant in that way.

Thanks for the pointer to bugs.povray.org, I didn't find it when browsing for
where to report bugs. Do you think it would be useful to report the png problem
there (with exclamation marks this time :) )?

Thanks for your help,
 Thomas

The point I intended to make was along the lines that diffs against 
3.6.1 sources are rather cumbersome to merge into the newest development 
versions. (Yeah, I know, then why didn't I say so... duh.)

Yup. Feel free to present your suggested solution, but please also 
mention how to keep it compatible with older libpng.

I've opened issue 144 about this.

Thanks again for your help,
