Hello everyone.

I am trying to make some minor changes to the source code to test some stuff
and the latest source code that I can find seems to be 3.6.0. As the readme
file indicates, I also need to have the binaries for the same version but
the "Older Versions" link only gives me 3.6.1 binary on Windows and not
3.6.0, so either I need to get the source for 3.6.1 (to work with my 3.6.1
binaries) or I need to find 3.6.0 binaries to work with my existing source
code.

Anyone knows where I can get either of these two?

Many thanks,
Ali.

Have you tried simply using the packages available?  If this does not 
work what it the problem?

Note to get the changes from 3.6.0 to 3.6.1 you can merge the Unix 
source package (which should be up-to-date) with the older Windows 
source package.

Christof,
Currently, I have:

Source: 3.6.0
Binaries: 3.6.1

Per instructions in the source, I compiled vc.net project successfully. It
resulted in pvengine.exe. I then tried to use that executable by replacing
my pvengine.exe in the binary distribution (3.6.1) with this newly compiled
one. It complains about:

"Editor DLL initialisation failed [LoadLibrary failed, code 0000007e]"

which I assume is caused since I am mixing my new 3.6.0 executable with the
editor library for 3.6.1. That is why I would like to get a hold of the
3.6.1 source code -or- 3.6.0 binaries.

Using the UNIX source code is most likely not going to work since the
problem that I am seeing seems to be a windows related issue (editor dll
and such) which tells me there must be some changes in the windows specific
areas of the code between 3.6.0 and 3.6.1.

Thanks,
Ali.

I see.  That indeed looks like it requires a fix.

As a workaround you can use the editor DLLs included in MegaPOV - those 
are the 3.6.0 variants AFAIK:
