POV-Ray 3.7.0 (released July 29 2016) is the current official version for all platforms.
The version available on this page is an unofficial port with GUI for mac.
Releases after July 2016 are Mac specific and are bug fixes or improvements specific for this Macintosh release.
Runs on Mojave but DarkMode is not supported, 3.8.x does support DarkMode.

Minimum system version is 10.6.8, 32 and 64 bit

Command line POV-Ray 3.7.0 final

This command line version is 32/64 bit Intel-Mac only. Only text output is implemented, display preview is not (yet) implemented.
This version is mainly intended to be executed from other programs.
If you only want to write and render scene files, you will probably want the GUI version above!

The archive with the executable contains:

The command line tool (code signed);
ncludes, scene files and ini files from the official compile;
Short Readme file to get started.

The source archive contains:

Project for XCode 9;
All the source files, included the libraries like png, jpeg, tiff,...;
Readme file, please read before you start compiling;

NOTE:

This is a relative complex (probably not for starters) project.
But after you unzip the archive and add your name and e-mail adress in the right file it will compile with one click.
Please make sure you read the Readme file included in the archive before you begin!
If you make any improvements, please contact me at yvoDOTsREMOVE_THIS_at_gmxDOTnet and I will try to included them.
