Is this release now public, and if so what changes were made to the linker in that version? It seems we have a conflict with the object modules converted with our OBJ->O converter program. Where would I download the 2.01 files from? Are the public on ftp.cdrom.com yet? ------- Forwarded Message Follows ------- Date: 16 Sep 96 14:04:03 EDT From: Chris Young <76702 DOT 1655 AT CompuServe DOT COM> To: Kendall Bennett Subject: PoV-Ray compiling with DJGPP2.01 It seems they've fixed DJGPP 2.0 but broke pmode.a in the process. Could you investigate? cy >> Date: 16-Sep-96 07:19:25 MsgID: 689-82249 ToID: 76702,1655 From: "Michael C.

This got me thinking about how I could start experimenting. The upshot of this is that I went back to DJGPP2.0 and had another look. The latest version, v2.01, seems to link OK, without running out of memory for the symbol table which is the problem I had had. Unfortunately I now get undefined references, all starting with 'PM_'. Using nm to look at the symbol table in pmode.a there were three object files reported as 'file format not recognized': _pmlite.o, _pmpro.o, _vflat.o. Do you know if these files are correct? They are, I understand, the files converted from .asm through .obj. Here's hoping there's an easy answer ... Mike Andrews. P.S. Reading the c.g.r.r. newsgroup it seems that most of us end users are greedy, ungrateful little individuals. Or at least the more vocal ones seem to be. Believe it or not, there are some of us that really appreciate the time and effort that goes into a project the magnitude of PoV-Ray. And having used the program in all it's incarnations from DKBTrace onward the progress is remarkable. Roll on PoV-Ray 4 :-) **CCs to: Michael Andrews INTERNET:M DOT C DOT ANDREWS AT READING DOT AC DOT UK +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | SciTech Software - Building Truly Plug'n'Play Software! | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Kendall Bennett | Email: KendallB AT scitechsoft DOT com | | Director of Engineering | Phone: (916) 894 8400 | | SciTech Software, Inc. | Fax : (916) 894 9069 | | 505 Wall Street | ftp : ftp.scitechsoft.com | | Chico, CA 95928, USA | www : http://www.scitechsoft.com | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
