Well, there's a Linux version. There are distros as small as 15
megabytes and you don't even have to partition your hard drive (it
will work from a file on your Windows drive).

Would it be a big problem to compile sources for DJGPP ?

ps. Where can I find POV sources ?

It was already done many times for 3.1
Hard to say about 3.5 since they are not release yet but when it will be
available I'm pretty sure many people will try it.

what platform ? In general:

What I ment was that in DOS you are not running
many background tasks due only to the OS. i.e. low overhead

One problem with 3.5 will be that the scene and include files don't
conform to the 8.3 filename limit. I doubt there is anything to prevent
POV-Ray from running, but you won't get a full working distribution.

Personally I wait for console version of 3.5 becouse I want start it as
service. I can't start render farm fully in my company becouse users breaks my
renderings unlocking terminals with different login.

DJGPP programm supports LFN (if only run under OS supporting it, like Win98 
dos-box).

  As much as I hate saying this, the Windows version works faster than the DOS
version.
  I once thought that as in DOS POV-Ray has the whole machine to itself while
in windows it has to share resources and time with other processes, it would
be much faster in DOS.
  Then one day I decided to test it in practice. To my big surprise POV-Ray
for Windows outperformed POV-Ray for DOS in almost every case. (And this was
with pov3.1, ie. no superoptimized intel compile available...)

  So don't make the mistake of thinking that POV-Ray will be faster in DOS
just because there are less processes. That's not the only affecting thing.

You where DJGPP and some-win32 compiler versions, based on same GCC 
version ?

Older DJGPP was based on GCC 2.9x that was quite slower (less optimization) 
then Win32.

  I used the official versions, plus a version for DOS compiled with DJGPP.
The latter was the slowest of all three.

I think that if You would use most up-to-date version of DJGPP (and 
ofcourse set -O3, loops unroling, inlines etc) this would be as fast as 
win32. In adition - ther is afair some other model of memory allocation in 
DJGPP that is faster (but results in faster memory fragmentation).

Btw - can I find somwhere ready-to-comile in DJGPP sources of POV ?

There is a command line replacement for DOS called 4DOS that supports the full LFN
file names too, even when booting to full DOS mode, but I am not 100% sure if programs
that are LFN aware will also recieve those names under it. May be a good thing to
check
out though. I would have it installed on mine, but have too many other things I
desperately
need to pay the shareware fees on already. lol But it is very a very nice replacement
even
if it doesn't help with the file names.

_all_ loops with compile-time-known-length are unrolled in -O3 ?

That's what I meant, too, plus the better memory and HDD management of
Linux.

  Wouldn't Linux (or any other Unix) be better for this purpose anyways?
(With a proper Unix you can even build a cluster from all your computers
so that they are transparently connected so that they look like one computer
with many processors.)

I am currently running a DJGPP compile of POV 3.5, and apart from disabling
the fancy text interface (rather than going to the trouble of debugging)
I've had no problems with it (including support for long file names and full
graphics previews).

  The effect of having a clustering OS is that you effectively see the whole
cluster is if it was one computer with several processors. Thus, you just run
several instances of povray as if you were in a computer with several
processors. No telnet/ssh/whatever needed, no complicated distribution
scripts needed. Just run povray and that's it. The system will automatically
distribute the different instances among the different computers.

And how it share radiosity file when two instances render the same scene on
different processors ? I'm reffering to :

  Whatever the solution is, it's no different whether you are using
a clustering OS or not. The clustering OS just makes it easier to share
common data.

I would be _very_ greatfull for link to full DJGPP-compilnt pov sources (or

The generic linux sources should compile fairly straightforward with
DJGPP, that's what it is for...

You probably noticed 3.5 sources are not released yet. Unix generic sources
for 3.1g are almost ready for djgpp. Have you any problem with it? Perhaps
some help You can find via http://news.povray.org/search/?s=djgpp

The workload would be shared among the nodes, making much faster than using
one single machine.

I saw a beast like this running, and it was amazing. The cluster was just
for demo, so it was made of cheap machines, and there were just 3 of them -
but its the difference that matters, right?

To render an image:

With just the master -> 70 seg (using both processors)
With the master (both processors) and the two slaves -> 21 sec

Hardware:

Master: Dual Pentium III 550
384 MB

Slave: Single Pentium III 650 EB
256 MB

Software: PovRay
Image: SkyVase.pov
SO: RedHat Linux 7.1 and Conectiva Linux 7.0

The machines were connected by fast ethernet, and a switch.

not that its hard to share common data with a non clustering OS

  Why not? Run several instances.

1. When you are crossposting, please set a F'up2.
2. The subject has nothing to do with the contents, so it should be changed.
3. I don't think this is a platform specific thing, so it's OT in both
   groups. F'up2 povray.general.
