Yes, that works now. Anyway to commit these changes to the official stable zip
file?

Christoph asked if the 3.7.1 master branch compiled OK for you as these
fixes and more have been made there for unix builds. Knowing the current
3.7.1 works (or not) for you would be useful, aside from anything else
with 3.7.0-stable, given you are running FreeBSD 10.2 and Debian instead
of Ubuntu 14* or 15*.
Your question specifically about patching the stable branch prompted me
to look more into git/github - which is a new control method to me. I
was able to create a trivial pull request to the master branch for
another matter as a test and it looks to me like we could patch just the
stable branch.
It also looks like the developers have NOT made such patches to stable
for some other unix specific issues. I suppose for wanting to keep
stable, stable and the lack of resource overall.
The question for the developers is: If I create a 3.7.0-stable specific
pull request with these unix build fixes (github issue #54), would it be
merged into the stable branch?

Does this require git or is there some other method of downloading it?

You can use git to grab it:
git pull https://github.com/POV-Ray/povray.git master
However, if you go to the https://github.com/POV-Ray/povray web page
there is a download zip option for the master branch on the right hand
side about the middle of the page.
One of the very cool things about github is it seems to built the zips
automatically as the branches get updated.

Hit send (before my coffee...) and it occurred to me if you have not
done an initial install with git you would need to have run a clone of
the code repository first to a local directory with :
git clone https://github.com/POV-Ray/povray.git
before using any git pull commands to stay current locally with
particular versions. The above clone will be set to the master branch by
default.
You can switch versions in your local clone with a command like:
git checkout origin/3.7-stable
to switch to the stable branch. Still very much learning git myself...

I am usually a shell guy (vs gui if possible) but I really like using
git through SmartGit http://www.syntevo.com/smartgit/ .
