This runs without complaint. (I'd forgotten how permissive GCC
is in its default mode; I always turn up the warnings to 11 on
my own code.)

It doesn't say anything about version numbers. The relevant

Hi,

i was able to compile Povray 3.6.1 under cygwin. Cygwin was a fresh 
installation with ALL modules.
(Latest version of cygwin)
With the default installation of cygwin there was no C99 compatibility 
(compiling failed due missing 
vsnprintf()? function)

1st try failed because the source files were in a directory with spaces
	C:\Programme\POV-Ray for Windows v3.6\cygwin\povray-3.6.1
2nd try with
	D:\local_dev\Privat\cygwin\povray-3.6.1
was successful.

The same applies with megapov 1.1 sources.

After compiling i 've tried some test renders -> no problems (there was 
some difficulties with the path to the .ini files).

Sorry for my poor english...

Hope, this helps...

Zan

	Mmmh this is getting interesting  ;-)
	Did you run a bash or (t)csh shell for doing this test ?
It could be that the environment is different than when running
the libtiff configure (but I don't think it is).

> gcc version 3.3.3 (cygwin special)

	Okay, you probably have (one of) the latest cygwin release(s).

	Looks okay indeed.

	Thanks, I'm gonna inspect this today.

	So it corresponds to what I wrote before.

	Hopefully, with the help of your log files I'll get an idea
of what's going on.  Unfortunately I don't have cygwin again today,
so that'll be somewhat harder to do some real testing.

	POV-Ray's configure didn't complain it cannot find vsnprintf() ?
Normally it should.

	Yes, that's an usual Cygwin problem.  My testing environment was
also including paths with spaces to try to cope with this as much as
possible, but apparently I still missed some cases.
	Could you send me the various config.log files you obtained in
this situation ?

	That's expected  :-)

	Please describe this problem.

It did complain. The checking for this function has failed... Sorry, i 
express myself wrong.

After "make install" i tried to render some scenes with default command 
line parameter:
	Example: POVRAY +Iscene.pov +Oscene.tga +FT +W160 +H200 +V -D +X

The default povray.ini in $HOME/.povray/3.6 wasn't used -> p.ex. 
colors.inc not found

With following command line the render was successful (for Megapov 1.1, 
the same with vanilla povay 3.6.1):

$ MEGAPOV $HOME/.povray/povray.ini +Ibear.pov +Otest.tga +FT +W640 +H480 
+V -D
+X +L/usr/local/share/megapov-1.1\include

I think, this was a problem of my fresh cygwin installation and not of 
povray itself. 
Or is this a problem of "make install"?

	Okay, thanks for the confirmation.

> The resulting config.log file was sent to your email address

	This file says the main configuration succeeded.  Since you are
on cygwin, libjpeg and libtiff were also configured.  However, as
I didn't get the corresponding config.log files, I can only assume
their configuration succeeded (the next POV-Ray release will make
sure of that).
	Therefore the path-with-blank-or-unusual-caracters problem
you report is likely happening either at build time ('make') or
at installation time ('make install').  Can you show me the context
in which the error happens ?  Please report the last 50 lines of
the console output including the build error.

> After "make install" i tried to render some scenes with default command line

	Note that the +Oscene.tga parameter is unnecessary here.

> The default povray.ini in $HOME/.povray/3.6 wasn't used -> p.ex. colors.inc not

	("p.ex." -> do you happen to speak french ?  ;-)

	If the  $HOME/.povray/3.6/povray.ini  file exists, it will be used.
However, it might be that the Library_Path's are somewhat screwed up.
Please report the content of this file ('cat $HOME/.povray/3.6/povray.ini').

	Two things here:

1) If $HOME/.povray/povray.ini contains "bad" Library_Path entries as guessed
above, it won't help to specify it on the command-line.

2) I suppose you did a typo in  +L/usr/local/share/megapov-1.1\include  since
the last backslash is wrong*.  Assuming you actually have "megapov-1.1/include"
and that it works as is, it means the installation managed to place the files
under /usr/local/share/megapov-1.1/include, but for some reason povray.ini
is missing this path.

(*) Not sure if and how cygwin copes with mixed POSIX and non-POSIX paths.

> I think, this was a problem of my fresh cygwin installation and not of povray
itself. 
> Or is this a problem of "make install"?

	In your case I'd say both  :-)  Cygwin should be in fault when you have
paths with spaces (first problem), and POV-Ray's install might do something bad
(second problem).

	To summarize, I'd like you show me (or send, when adequate) the
following:

1) If they exist
C:\Programme\POV-Ray for Windows v3.6\cygwin\povray-3.6.1\libraries\libjpeg\config.log
C:\Programme\POV-Ray for Windows v3.6\cygwin\povray-3.6.1\libraries\libtiff\config.log

2) The error message + last 50 lines of running 'make' or 'make install' from the
C:\Programme\POV-Ray for Windows v3.6\cygwin\povray-3.6.1  directory

3) Content of  $HOME/.povray/3.6/povray.ini  that you obtained after installing
from  D:\local_dev\Privat\cygwin\povray-3.6.1

	Thanks again,
	- NC

	By the way, I'd rather expect  $HOME/.povray/3.6/povray.ini  here
(i.e. there's a missing 3.6/ in the path to povray.ini).

Yes, this was a typo... :-(

	Okay, so it's quite a different problem, and that one was already
reported before.  I hope I will now be able to see what's wrong here too...

	Well, I don't see any problem here...

Yes, I made sure I updated to the latest Cygwin installation before
reporting the problem with Povray. I later had to downgrade the Cygwin
DLL from 1.5.11 to 1.5.10 because the pthread bug in 1.5.11 broke some
other programs, but that didn't make any difference to Povray.
