__DJGPP__

The core of DJGPP is the MS-DOS port of the GNU C/C++ compiler, GCC, and auxiliary utilities, such as assembler, linker, librarian, Make, and a hypertext docs browser. So people familiar with GCC family should not have problems in using it.

__MINGW32__

There is name conflict between BLOB and other identifiers in POV-Ray™ and MinGW.

MinGW can be used together with Cygwin, see http://www.mingw.org/mingwfaq.shtml#faq-usingwithcygwin.

An adapted source code package for compiling with MinGW is available on the MegaPOV site.
