Well, not officially, but I did build with clang 3.2 and 3.3 (povray 3.7RC7)

Build details at

So far, for my cpu, icpc is best. clang 3.3 improved a bit when compared
to 3.2, but still not to the level of gcc when HT is in the figure (but
clang is better than gcc when there is no HT)

Heres the initial effort to support CMake.

Eclipse project file:
 - http://www.graphicall.org/ftp/ideasman42/linux_eclipse_povray.png

Clang3.3 output:
 - http://www.graphicall.org/ftp/ideasman42/linux_clang33_povray.html

Currently its a single CMakeLists.txt file, which should be broken up, and
theres TODO's listed at the top of the file.

I'm looking into writing a CMake build system too. I'm not really using your 
effort as a base, but considering your list of TODOs it would need almost a 
rewrite anyway. For example, I'm starting straight away with an explicit 
list of sources instead of globs :)

So, whenever adding a new source file, you also have to know about that
list ? What about the dependencies ? Do you use a Chinese army approach ?

When you add a new source file, you need to modify the build system. I don't 
see how that's surprising.

Assuming you mean #include dependencies, they are are handled automatically.
The simplest CMake script is:

add_executable(myprogram one.cpp two.cpp three.cpp)

You don't need to say what header files they depend on.

FYI, the current Automake build system does /not/ need any modifications 
upon addition of a new source file. It simply builds all source files in 
a given set of directories.

In his project, I want to use the Povray. I can not study very long
configuration files.
I decided to use CMake.
To build the project in Linux, I wrote a single file CMakeLists.txt

Isn't that overly verbose? Can't CMake build the contents of an entire
directory tree recursively?

(I guess for your own project you're probably ok with this for now, but
I'm also interested in exploring the potential of CMake for official
POV-Ray, so since you're toying around with CMake anyway, I'd be
grateful if you could investigate a bit further in that direction.)

Historically, POV-Ray has been using the contents of `jversion.h` to
determine the version of libjpeg it reports to the end user in the list
of library copyright notices.

This works fine with the Windows version, since it is linked to the
version of libjpeg we're distributing in source code format along with
the POV-Ray for Windows source code; but as you have noticed correctly,
the file is typically unavailable for Unix builds as our Unix build
process nowadays always relies on an external libjpeg (disabling JPEG if
such an external library is unavailable).

In our automake-based Unix build process, this has been worked around by
faking the file, with information obtained by the automake tools via
other means.


I had never investigated this before, but now that I've looked at it I
consider it a bug, or at least a flaw that should (and can) be fixed. I
suspect it might be some artifact from the history of libjpeg. After
all, POV-Ray is in some sense 5 years older than libjpeg, and there may
have been times when `jversion.h` used to be the only file from which
version information could be obtained.

All versions of libjpeg that POV-Ray is still compatible with appear to
provide version information in `jpeglib.h`, and I've just made sure
that's the source future versions of POV-Ray will get their version
information from.

My problem - poor understanding of English.
No information in Russian.
Russian-speaking programmers write in English.
I hardly found aux_source_directory. :)))))
Usually written CMakeLists.txt for each directory.
But I do not think a large file.
This is much less than: configure.in, configure.ac, makefile.in, prebuild.sh,
bootstrap, makefile and so on.
Yes, I got ready config.h and the source code has disabled some functions.
I need to understand more.
