Thank you for quick responses Greg and Guy. It's nice to see an active
community.
I've tried using binary packages with tutorial
(http://radsite.lbl.gov/radiance/refer/tutorial.html#Intro), but would
like to be able to see the scene that I've described using the
interactive viewer rview. This is what motivated me to compile the source code.
I've managed to compile and install Radiance but without qtrvu. qtrvu did not
compile as I did not have QT4 libraries on my computer at the time. I am
working on resolving this now.
My understanding from the mailing list is that qtrvu is an alternative to rview
for users without Unix/X11 support. Is that correct?
I've read in many posts that old-versions of SCons were required, but most
posts were dating back from 2010 and before. It thought that since active
development was still being done, that later SCons versions may have been
supported. Thank you for clarification Guy.
In compiling Radiance 4.1a, without qtrvu, I ran into 2 problems: SCons and an
Error in "rtcontrib.c"
1.SCons 2.1.0 Resolution to the problem I mentioned in my original post:
Replace #cfig = ConfigParser.ConfigParser(env.Dictionary()) statement found
on line 11, load_plat.py
with
cfig = ConfigParser.ConfigParser()
Removing env.Dictionary() does not cause any adverse effects - but someone else
may correct me here
2.'ssize_t' variable name in "rtcontrib.c" conflicts with 'ssize_t' in
mingw....include/sys/types.h
Since 'ssize_t' is found in 3 places and only in "rtcontrib.c", I've changed
the variable to 'sSize_t'
This allowed the compilation to finish without errors.
From C:\MingW\include\sys\types.h
#ifndef _SSIZE_T_
#define _SSIZE_T_
typedef int _ssize_t;
#ifndef _NO_OLDNAMES
typedef _ssize_t ssize_t;
AND
Here's the error:

Subject: [Radiance-dev] Cannot build Radiance 4.1a on Windows XP SP2 - beginner
Although Scons 1.3.1 (the old version!) is still able to compile Radiance 4.2a,
I do think it's time for the Scons build system to be removed.
If you're new to Radiance I would go for some precompiled binaries to run
Radiance as they also set the right environment variables in Windows.
If I remember correctly the NREL/CMAKE build system has some additional
features planned/implemented compared to the Scons/MinGW system. (rvu for
Windows), although I haven't seen it yet.
So it would be nice to hear the latest status of that project.
Best Regards,
Guy
