Before someone beats me to it, I may be remembering running the DOS
executable in a Windows command prompt, maybe not a Windows console
program. Still would the console code from then be any way relevant?
Is it still available?

After it was discovered that someone made a comercial graphic product
that used POV-Ray from the command line, WITHOUT giving proper credit
and without asking, that possibility was totaly removed.
Good news: It's on the To-Do list for future versions.

There is still exists a bit of dedicated Windows Console code, and even
a "Console" project in the Visual Studio solution; it's normally
deactivated, and it hasn't seen much maintenance, but I had given it
some resuscitation once during the 3.7 beta phase, so I guess it should
be comparatively easy to bring it back to full life. Some CPR
accompanied by liberal application of Epinephrine, and it should be as
good as new.

I think building under MinGW64 using the Unix front end is The Right Way
to go. You pick up all the switch parsing; common code base. Way back,
I built my posdos3.1 that way. Plus, we avoid this crap where the M$
version only builds with a compiler no longer available.
As long as there's no Windows Loop needed, this is better.
Do you have povray built like this with the unix front end?

No, the console functions POVRay uses are specific to Unix, there is some work
to do to remove all the unix-oriented functions. Maybe with Cygwin the result is
better but now I don't have time to spend on this.

Following this discussion, maybe someone will be interested. This will not be
the latest version but this week I switched on my old computer and. I found my
build scripts of POVRay 3.61 on MinGW32. I recompiled this with my MinGW64
environment and the result is a command-line POVRay version that renders as
expected. The build scripts is mostly inspired by what you see above. If there
is demand about binaries, I can host it on my OneDrive for example. Even if 3.7
is out now, 3.61 is still usable and feature-rich...
This build works and renders as expected. You should only be careful about file
paths (add them in the .INI for example).

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 :)
