[Radiance-dev] Compiling rsensor on Windows

[Francesco Anselmo]

Hi Rob,

Very timely ;-) Zack also asked me about this :-)

I have been trying to make a mingw binary package with yesterday's HEAD
snapshot 
from the CVS, but a few things have changed in the source code since
3R8, and
I am still trying to find my way around them.

rsensor needs libraycalls, libradiance and librtrad, so these have to be
compiled first, doing an rmake inside src/common and src/rt, and perhaps
crossing your fingers ;-)

In reality, the best approach I have found is to use scons.
Unfortunately
the last changes done on the Sconscript files are two years old 
(schorsch, where are you? we really miss you!) so I am patching things
here and there to get the core programs compiled.

I hope to be successful soon, and I'll post my findings to the Radiance
Wiki.

Keep the faith ;-D

Francesco
