Thanks ! It does render with blue background now.
Next issue is when I try to render the grenadine scene, I get a "Parse Error:
Cannot open include file lemon.inc." (disregarding any +L option).
That however could also happen with standard povray 3.8.

Sorry, ignore the grenadine (non)issue, I was making a typo.

Hi, I tried building on windows again with "betterave", and after reimplementing
all the changes previously mentioned in this thread I manage to push again many
of the errors away, but fail to see what to do about the wrong type line 485 of
windows/pvengine.cpp :
https://github.com/LeForgeron/povray/blob/Hgpovray/windows/pvengine.cpp#L485

At the end of a struct array typed WORD, having -1 values maybe to specify end
of array that looks like list of all keys that allow to scroll.

It seems that some difference relied upon *outside* this file allows vanilla pov
to build with that same technique.


Is there maybe some library that I could change to more recent version? (I
already pushed many errors by replacing boost folder... But maybe I want too far
with that one in a too recent version?

Adding :
-Wno-c++11-narrowing

into additional compiler options seems to have solved that... next issues coming
soon :-)

It now tells me as error for
libraries\boost\boost\type_index\detail\compile_time_type_info.hpp ,  line 279
(" boost::typeindex::detail::failed_to_get_function_name();") :
no matching function for call to 'failed_to_get_function_name'



....and as info for \libraries\boost\boost\type_index\ctti_type_index.hpp , line
117 :
in instantiation of member function 'boost::detail::ctti<void>::n' requested
here

also info for libraries\boost\boost\type_index\detail\compile_time_type_info.hpp
, line 87 :
candidate template ignored: couldn't infer template argument 'T'

If I click to show definition of 'T', below are lines :
"TypeIndex library could not detect your compiler.Please make the
BOOST_TYPE_INDEX_FUNCTION_SIGNATURE macro use correct compiler macro for getting
the whole function name. Define BOOST_TYPE_INDEX_CTTI_USER_DEFINED_PARSING to
correct value after that."

I am using Visual Studio 2019 building Release x64 target, with LLVM as a
compiler, ISO standard Language version C++14, --disable-io-restrictions
-Wno-c++11-narrowing, and with all other changes mentioned before in this
discussion. any clue what else to change to keep/(start?) moving forward?

Hi, I made yet another attempt at building on Windows with other parameters and
received different warnings mentioning :

unknown type name '__m64'

Is there any chance to replace / enhance definition of this in the source code
with something more cross platform  ?

Can you elaborate a bit more (location of the error ?) ?

What is puzzling is that something like __m64 starts with double
underscore and that is something which should be reserved to compiler
implementation.

Any capture of the full message ?

 Indeed includes belonged to LLVM /CLANG 10 for VC... The thing is I know too
little, especially about expected options and get lost in trial and errors.

A few clues or reminders of what "should" normally  be the best options could
help me to get there quicker. (Using a Windows 10 with an I7 CPU) current
settings: when loading a file I let it update toolset from v140 to version142

Configuration: Debug, Platform: x64
Windows SDK version 10 ... Better with the default of 8.1?
Floating point mode Precise... Better with strict or fast?

MFC: Use Standard Windows Libraries... Better with use MFC from a static
library? or from a shared dll?
Desactivate language extensions : Yes (/Za)... ok?
iso norm for C version?  trying with MSVC inherited... Better with C 11 or C 17?
iso norm for C++ version?  trying with default std C++14 (nothing older)...
Better with 17 or "latest"?

Character set currently undefined  in project file, better with unicode or MBCS?

No Common Language Runtime

Compile as C++(/TP) ... Better with compile as C Code (/TC)?
With that, I get all the errors mentionned in this discussion, so I stopped
assuming that the code should not be touched and am about to start again to the
suggested changes. I was only searching for a working build setup witout it
first : so I now switched the toolset from Visual Studio 2019 (v142) to LLVM
(clang-cl).. better with LLVM? any clues?

Hi, I made a new attempt at building on Windows after changing one machine and a
fresh msvs install, (all configurations for vanilla pov built fine)  and noticed
one different warning about 'GetVersionExA' declared deprecated, from
pvupdate.cpp line 164, (microsoft error code C4996):

So I copied it here in case it might help solving windows build issues I met
before.
