Hi

I am trying to compile Povray3.7 under Cygwin using the Linux codebase. The
reason I am trying to compile under Cygwin is that I need to use the commandline
version over ssh sessions(ie coding on laptop, rendering on desktop).

Anyways I cannot seem to get it compiled, I also tried disabling most of the
configure options and did not seem to make any diffence. Here is the error
section

My cpp skills are pretty bleak so I cannot figure this out on my own


thanks

Seems you are lacking lseek64 on cygwin.

As long as you're not compiling for a system which would be 64 bits, you
can probably replace the call to lseek64 with its older parent: lseek.

A preprocessor option -Dlseek64=lseek should avoid you to edit the code,
if I'm not too rusted. (in CPPFLAGS of configure: ./configure
CPPFLAGS="-D..." ... )

Le_Forgeron,

Thanks for your insight. It seems like I managed to stop that error with your
help. But now I am hitting another one :(

You need to get ride of HAVE_CLOCK_GETTIME in ./config.h (#undef ...
instead of #define ), because the version provided by cygwin is far too
old, IMHO.

It will only impact the time-report, not really a big thing for your case.

Thanks again. I am working out one by one with your help. But that did not stop
further errors ;)

Oh, we are at the linking phase already, nice!

What is the version of boost ?
Maybe you need to provide manually the boost_thread-mt library ?
(there is an option for that in configure, sometime it is needed (not on
ubuntu, but it has to on red hat, IIRC, so why not cygwin))

--with-boost-thread=boost_thread-mt

If your version of boost is less than 1.37, you will have to update or
install a fresher one by hand first. (and check also if "boost thread
dev" or whatever name is also installed)

Le Forgeron, thanks for your help. I managed to compile after the last tip. So
far it does work for simple stuff. I will test for real later today.

I have created a post about it(in progress) if anyone needs simple steps to
follow

Thanks for the feedback.
One last notice: the -V option is being "updated" to "--V" (due to a bug
report: it conflict with another basic option) in the next RC (using
--version is safer for long term)

Many thanks for the how-to! I think it would make a nice addition to the 
POV-Ray Wiki - would that be ok for you?

Clipka, if you feel like it should be on the wiki then it should be on the wiki.
I am fine with that. I wrote it so that people do not need to sped as much time.

Btw the final edited version is on my web site. If there should be some
additions-corrections please let me know.
