I could be interested by how to compile Povray 3.61 for MinGW64 if you still
have it :)

Finally got it running by patching unixconsole.cpp plus another file, and
compiling it with MinWG64/MSYS2.

I have run a benchmark :

povray --benchmark
POV-Ray 3.7.0.8.unofficial (g++ 8.3.0 @ x86_64-w64-mingw32)

Entering the standard POV-Ray 3.7 benchmark version 2.01.

This built-in benchmark requires POV-Ray to be installed on your system
before running it.  There will be neither display nor file output, and
any additional command-line option except setting the number of render
threads (+wtN for N threads) and library paths (+Lpath) will be ignored.
To get an accurate benchmark result you might consider running POV-Ray
with the Unix 'time' command (e.g. 'time povray -benchmark').

The benchmark will run using 4 render thread(s).
Press <Enter> to continue or <Ctrl-C> to abort.

I have been able to compile last 3.7 version with MSYS2/MinGW64.

It works fine and I've this unofficial version available if someone is
interesting by it

Happy coding with POV :)

    Yes! please , do share. And in thelong run, This might lay foundation for a
truly Cross-platform build process.  I believe that suggestion made by Campbell
Barton aka ideasman 42 a few months or year ago was one reason preventing to
ship PoV along with its exporter, Making it disadvantaged compared to other open
source renderers such as cycles, eevee, or Freestyle.

Hi: Could you post the patched file unixconsole.cpp and the another file in
order to be able to compile with MINGW32/MINGW64?
