Is there either a way to run POV without having actually run the install
program (i.e all program files but no registry entries) or an unofficial
compile that doesn't use the reg. entries? I'd like to be able to use POV at
school, but the security won't allow registry changes.

SkyPOV ( http://www.geocities.com/Rengaw03/povray.html ) can work without
the registry entries. I developed it on my university's computers, and for
some reason, the install program won't run on them, so the registry entries
couldn't be set up.

The Cygwin version does not need registry entries, but be aware it's just
text mode and also usually slower than the GUI version:

Thank you. It still retains all the regular POV features, correct?

It says it needs MegaPOV or POV 3.1 installed (and it also seems to want
that annoying HOME= entry in the registry), but the reason I was looking for
this kind of thing in the first place was because I couldn't run the install
program.

BTW, it could turn out to be more difficult that you may think, the
-mno-cygwin flag only works with C and not C++ so you will either have to
use the Cygwin DLL (which would be problematic for a binary release) or
use the MinGW gcc instead.

No, but AFAIK that's a DOS port of gcc, not exactly what would be useful
here.

I'm not sure what you are talking about (is 3.5 written in C++?), but
compiling the "povcyg" version with mingw instead of cygwin is no problem, I
only had to change the pathes in the makefile..

Weird. I didn't think I removed that for the final version. It should
check for a Home= registry entry, and if it doesn't find that, it should
deduce the correct path from the path to the executable file, and if it
can't do that (which should never happen), it should use "c:\temp\workarea"
as the homepath. The problem could be that it can't find the editor dlls or
that it can't find "colors.inc".

1) can't DOS port work as console version ?
2) as I know (I not tested this) DJGPP has libraries to compile windows apps
3) it compile C++ fine
4) I tested some time ago your cygwin compile with my djgpp compile of megapov
(or pov31) and IIRC your version was faster only a little
there is an important information about it

I suppose it will be quite different on 95/98/ME and NT/2k, using memory
consuming apps in the DOS emulation of NT is probably not very efficient.
Anyway, since Cygwin and MinGW should be perfectly sufficient i don't see
any need to use DJGPP.

But I'm using it on NT. It works fine, fast and stable.

So I just need to copy SkyPOV into the Bin directory of POV 3.1 and it'll

I'm afraid, for me at least, I won't be able to use DOS either. The security

So if 'colors.inc' isn't there, it won't work (or it will look for HOME=)?
That could be my problem. I'll check.
