1   Here is a list of compile switches, used to customize Radiance code
2   for specific machines and users:
3  
4 -DMC            If set, switches from default low-discrepency sequence
5                sampling to true (pseudorandom) Monte Carlo.  Use if
6                the "brushed" appearance of specular highlights and
7                penumbras bothers you.
8
4   -DALIGN=(type)  Alignment type, machine-dependent.  Most RISC
5                  architectures align on 8-word boundaries (double).
6                  The default alignment type is int.
7  
13 -DSPEED=(MIPS)  Millions of instructions per second for this
14                processor (approximate).  This is used to decide
15                certain unimportant timing issues such as how many
16                rays to trace before checking input in rvu and
17                whether or not to optimize the color table in ximage
18                on 8-bit displays.
19
8   -DWFLUSH=(rays) Override for number of rays before flush in rvu.
9  
10 < -DBSD           Operating system has a strong Berkeley flavor, meaning
11 <                that bcopy() and bzero() are present but maybe memcpy()
12 <                and memset() are not.  (See common/standard.h for other
25 <                things this flag affects.)  Also affects certain system
26 <                calls, such as signal handling and resource tracking.

13  
14   -DSMLMEM        The system has little RAM available, so size hash
15                  tables and the like accordingly.  Only allows for
