Hi all,
I've been trying to get povray working on a Debian box I use as a
development machine remotely from my Windows box. When I log into it (using
ssh) and try to run povray on one of the demo scene files, it flashes some
output on the screen giving the options I've specified but then clears the
terminal and produces no file output. I got the same thing when using the
build of POV installed on my college's Solaris machines remotely, even
though it works fine when I'm locally connected.
I'm using the standard 3.5 linux binaries, and assume this is something
to do with Unix terminal/console subtleties with which I am not conversant.
I've looked through the archives for this group and have seen some similar
problems mentioned with respect to rsh, but haven't found any clear
solutions. I would really like to get this to work!
Thanks in advance for any ideas,
Joe

Blind guess:
Does your ssh session have X-output ability to your windows session?
If not, the problem may be the preview display. In that case try
-d option. As I said, a blind guess.

I do this on my own system, only logging into my Mandrake box from my
Mac (running Mac OS X), and it works fine in console or X11 display
mode. And I've used PuTTY to log into both of those from a Windows 2000
machine, though not to run POV-Ray. What software are you using on the
Windows machine? What do you use when locally connected?
My first guess is that the other poster is right, try turning display
off. There's probably a way to run X11 programs from Windows, but I
don't know about it.

You need a X server for WIndows. There are several commercial ones of
which I think XWin32 is the best but I am not aware of any free ones

Doesn't that imply I'll need cygwin (which recently got over 1 GB)?

I do not know how many components you will need for it but when I recently
installed Cygwin for runing script with bash it took about 35 MB. Some old
install of X11 + development set for compiling povray took less than 500 MB
which was about the same as for WinNT folder here.

First you don't need all cygwin components (in fact for only running
remote x sessions you will only need very few) and then even a complete
Cygwin is not that large. My current cygwin download directory which
contains most packages, quite a lot in several versions, and a somewhat
older version of XFree is 275 Mb, unpacked that could be nearly 1 GB but
most things are not needed (unless you want such useful tools as gcc,
perl, python, tex, ... ;-)

Does it feature some package selection tool with dependencies a-la
Debian? Last time I played with cygwin it was a nightmare to
custom-install.

I just tried and it has a very fine setup. I easily selected my
prefered packages, and it installed softly (using a mirror on belgium,
as the spanish one was very slow, as usual).
It's really nice... I was not aware of what cygwin really was....
Thanks for insisting Christoph!!!
