Post by: Phil on 2011.04.26, 08:30:27
Hi to all
Question 1:  Does java for os2 support printing. I am running two
programs  GenealogyJ and moneydance,  both crash when I try to print,
iinstant program shut down.  Also I have periodic hangs in moneydance
that only a reboot will correct.

Question 2:  Is there a means of converting windows install .exe to .jar install.
would like to test POVRAY but......
suggestions ideas, info are always welcome and appreciated

Regards
Phil Ryan

Hi  Mentore and Robert
I dowmloaded povray 3.6.1.  Seem to install ok
but will not launch.  I am running the latest Java for os2/ecs,
(safe for dual pprocessors, but no go.  Seems to get part way thru
the launch process and quits

Hi Phil,

Requires GCC 4.5.2 DLL - Java not required.

Best,
Robert

I don't know why but I was under the was under the wrong idea that
this was a java program.
I have had gcc4.5.2 install for sometime now.
A visit to povray web site shows a release canidate rc3 dual processor friendly
for windows.  This would suggest that the port might be for
single processor only.

Hello Phil.

I already tried to compile POV-Ray 3.7.0 RC 3 but failed in configure script, so I gave up. I hope I will try again when the RC Phase will be over.

For what regards POV-Ray 3.6.1, as you read it is written for a single processor environment. In a SMP environment, I don't think the program itself will take advantage of multi-CPUs or multicore. To run the exe file, you will need the GCC DLLs located on netlabs FTP archive.
