Hello everybody.
I hate to ask "stupid" or "obvious" questions, but I have to admit that
I'm anywhere near as quick or perceptive as most of you out there. I was
just wondering which file to download, and what the general procedure is for
compiling POV 3.5 with the free Borland compiler. I would like to get my
hands dirty and pull out wires and stick in new stuff and all that, but
first I have to get a working compile, so any help in this regards would be
greatly appreciated. I am studying Computer Science after all, and I have a
lot to learn. Knowing the programmers behind POV, I know I'll learn a lot,
so please help me. (And be patient if I don't get it.) Thanks!

I have problems with it too. I don't remember what was wrong exactly - I
started to compile with cygwin and djgpp becouse of Borland's errors. I still
plan to force Borland compiler to work so tell me if you could start it (and
how). I'm trying to setup multitarget enviroment on my hardrive - unix, dos
and windows - based on the same set of files.

I think DJGPP is much easier to setup, more resources online, familiar zip
picker for download and it base on GCC so larger community to help.

Look into thread 'free borland' from 2001-04-17. Although it contains
tips for compiling MegaPOV with bcc, perhaps you get some help from it.
Or alternatively, I _hope_ to get some time at this weekend and finally
download 3.5 source and make leap to 3.5 in source code level. If I
succeed, then I try to create guide for it and post here.

Thank you very much Vahur. I'd appreciate it if you would write up a guide.

From what I've seen, the component which is going to give you the most
headaches is Borland Make. it does not support implicit rules and you
would have to replace all implicit rules with explicit ones yourself.
Don't quote me on that, though, as I haven't gotten my hands dirty
myself - that's what I could figure out from my brother's cursing
while he was trying to port something to Borland's compiler.

Could be great. I have already made MegaPOV compilation with free BCC
following tips from mentioned thread. But it could not help me with 3.5
compilation :-( I think it can be some STL problem. Free Borland is not new
and it can be limited version. Is STL necessary to compile 3.5, isn't it? I
think it is not fully supported in free Borland:

This 'it does not support implicit rules' is not true, for I just hacked
together makefile, which uses implicit rules :-) But Borland's
imagination of makefile is somewhat different from MS. Or is it vice versa?

Glad to hear that, and glad to see you've brought Borland to their
knees finally :)
