I have recently acquired Lattice C 5.02 and have been attempting
to compile DBW_Render (a very powerful ray-tracer) with it with
minimal success. I've notice two problems:
1. It seem to ignore the time parameters given to it and yes, it uses the
standard time() function of ANSI type. The version compiled under Manx will
do a picture as best it can in the amount of time, given in hours. The Lattice
version will not.
2. The output file is about 3K bytes longer than that of the Manx version
(it is an unformatted integer write) and only one scanline (the first) is
discernable to the postprocessor, ray2.
One question, is Manx's default int a 16 or 32-bit integer? If it is 16, then
that is one difference that could cause problems, as Lattice assumes 32-bit unless
otherwise specified. Has anyone successfully compiled Render under Lattice? If
so, please get in touch with me, as I DESPERATELY need to get this working (An
honors' thesis hangs in the balance!)!!!!!!! It would be best if someone could
post source code, but I'll take what I can get (advice, etc.). If anyone out
there has solved this problem PLEASE RESPOND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks in advance,
