> Get Visual C 7.1 or later and be done with it.
I have always compiled POV-Ray on Windows using MinGW GCC. No problems
at all.
Last time I tried Microsoft Visual Something, I took me long to even
figure out how to compile. And it failed anyway. And it changed two
dozen file associations without even asking. What's worse is that they
didn't get restored or at least deleted on uninstall, so all .c, .cpp,
etc files were trying to open with a program that didn't exist anymore.

Thank you: I count 8 required files by that.

"system requirements" seem no where to be found

A non-NT based version of Windows could be a problem... I'm not sure.

OK did this:
*Install MSYS (MinGW)*
- This is a Minimal SYStem providing a self hosted
mingw32 target POSIX style environment.

wth?
does this page have anything to do with compiling pov3.6 for win on mingw?
https://lists.cs.wisc.edu/archive/condor-users/2006-May/msg00210.shtml
what is the vanilla universe?
what is the standard universe?
I am betting withOUT some serious instructions here ...... splat!
I see on the net a ref to ming "GUI", but no icon to a gui has yet been defined.
looks like maybe a command line compiler. maybe both?

windows/makefiles/install.txt
think I'll try the windows code first, eh? makes sense to me
makefile.bcc - make of Borland C++ (www.borland.com)
makefile.gcc - make of MinGW (www.mingw.org)
makefile.vc - nmake of VisualC (www.microsoft.com)
makefile.wat - wmake of Watcom (www.openwatcom.org)
makefile.dms - smake of DigitalMars (www.digitalmars.com)
Example of building with MinGW:
make.exe -f windows\makefiles\makefile.gcc USE_GUI=0 BUILD=debug
cool

Works for me from the Windows code, using
windows/makefiles/makefile.gcc. I never tried using the UNIX code under
MinGW, may work.

Well, they want it to run under a specific environment, the Condor
High-Throughput Computing System.

Condor-specific stuff probably; I never heard of those.

where does the source go in relation to:
f:\msys\bin\make.exe
not enough info to really expect this work
or enter src directory (f:\povwin36) and execute from there,
expecting previous path to make.exe to be known
argh, hate trial and error

f:\povwin36> f:\msys\bin\make.exe -f f:\povwin36\windows\makefiles\makefile.gcc
USE_GUI=0 BUILD=debug
