Building StereoPOV on linux

I didn't test StereoPOV on linux. My apologies for this.
Indeed there are some Problems, but at last, I managed to build 
on RedHat Linux 7.3 (gcc 2.96, glibc-2.2.93).

(1) I needed to supply some additional #defines 
    A good place to add this is in src/config.h

#define TRUE true
#define FALSE false
#define MAX(a,b) max((a),(b))
#define MIN(a,b) min((a),(b))

(2) I needed to supply additional libraries for the linker.
    In src/Makefile, there is a definition 
LIBS = -lz -lm  -lX11
    (ca line 106). I had to edit this and add the
    tiff, jpeg and png libraries:
LIBS = -lz -lm -lX11 -ltiff -ljpeg -lpng


(3) Please, make sure that you do a complete rebuild,
   after unpacking the patched source files.
   Type 
  
make clean

   before building.

(4) The patched source files are in MS-DOS-Format.
   If this imposes problems, you should try to convert
   them to UNIX LF. (dos2unix or zip -ll  etc)

(5) I had some problems with X display and with verbose
   output. The display window uses the original width,
   instead of using the doubled width of the stereo
   pair as it should. The generated output file of
   course is OK.
   Sometimes, I got a segmentation fault when povray
   finished rendering and tried to close the display
   window. When using the -D commanline switch (Display
   off), everything worked.
