Hello, I am currently working on trying to port Rayshade 4.0 Beta over to an MS-DOS 386/387 using DJ Delorie's GCC compiler. I have successfully gotten the code to compile, yet I am running into an error that confuses me: "Segmentation Violation referencing address 0x40e2f4. Exception 14 at eip 0x180f0" I would appreciate any help in debugging this program as I have a serious interest in Raytracing and also, if anyone can tell me where I can find some documentation for DJGCC in general (including in the least, command line options, which were curiously missing in the GNUish-DOS release) then I would be greatly appreciative. Raytracer 4.0 Beta port history: Turbo C++ v1.01 - Compiled successfully sometime in mid May. Program repeatedly crapped out with many "Floating point error: Domain" messages which I finally attributed to the actual antialiasing routines (the thing was comming up with values of -NAN !) GCC - Compiled successfully 4/28/91. Program problems as stated above. Whoops! For Turbo C++ that sould me mid-March, not mid-May. We haven't even HAD may yet. Thanks! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The opinions in this article are my humble own. Critiques and comments welcome.
