Building on postmarketOS on PinePhone

[chiraag-nataraj]

The build system needs tweaking in order to work on postmarketOS (and likely other systems with busybox instead of coreutils).

• In the configure script, the stat calls need to use -c instead of --format.
• Had to deal with the same issue as Possibly missng sys/types.h include? #10 (same files).

These were the only changes needed.

Issue #10 should have been fixed ages ago; what version of POV-Ray are you trying to build?

Looks like you are trying to compile v3.7, which was not developed with busybox-based target environments in mind. Fixing the configure script should be fairly easy, but addressing the data types issue might be fraught with danger of breaking other things, so we're unlikely to do that.

If you feel comfortable applying the workaround described in #10 manually, we recommend you do that. Otherwise you might want to try one of the latest tagged v3.8 development versions instead, which should have both issues fixed.

Please try whether the hotfix/v370_issue400 branch addresses your issues (and doesn't introduce any new ones). All going well, both issues you've mentioned should be gone.

Should be all fixed in 3.7-stable branch (v3.7.0.9).
Corresponding fix in v3.8 still pending, but will follow same pattern (stat issue only; the other issue has already been fixed there).
