I lately downloaded djgpp after reading a book on C++ programming and
then I downloaded the POV source code. I'm kind of uneasy using djgpp
trying to compile such a big program (least I think it's big) as my
first project. Is it worth-my-while? I'd just like to mess with the code
to see what I'm capable of. Is it easy to create my own shapes using the
existing functions?
Thanks

It is hardly necessary to compile POV-Ray yourself when you can download the
binaries.
The source code is only for those brave individuals that just want to play
around with
the code or want to add some special enhancement that they want.
POV-Ray is an extremely powerful script oriented 3d ray tracing program. It
certainly
is not necessary to compile it yourself in order to use it (although under
UNIX this
is usually the normal method, under DOS/Windows it most certainly is NOT).
You didn't specify what operating system you are using. The POV-Ray home
page at
http://www.povray.org has the current official release version 3.02 for all
systems
supported. From the Compuserve POVRAY forum in library 16 (POV-Ray Version
3.1 beta)
you can download the current Version 3.10 beta which includes some very
valuable
enhancements. Of most importance is the #macro directive IMHO...

Please do not post HTML code to newsgroups!
IMO it is a nice thing to modify the source code of povray for
your own modifications. AFAIK djgpp is a port of gcc to DOS. Since
povray compiles fine with gcc you will probably manage to compile
it with djgpp. You will more likely have trouble with the makefile
than with the compiler.
Besides from this note that povray is written in plain C, and not
in C++. But it is well written and (more or less) commented.

Well, it could also be a very good example for learning about good (well
written) object oriented code in a non object oriented language. So if what he
seeks is perfect his knowledge of C, maths and graphic calls it will help a bit,
although strong grinds would be advised.

By telling you he uses DJGPP to compile he tells you that he compiles for DOS,
even though he might have some sort of MS Windows system on his machine.If the
target is windows, then DJGPP is a bad choice, better have a look aroung
Cygwin32, Mingw32 or egcs.
