[req] yafray 0.0.7

I want to get this package, but the official one in the on-site package list is outdated, it has been flagged so for a while, anyone interesting in making a package?

Try building it yourself. If you haven't done so yet, run abs. Get the PKGBUILD from /var/abs, change the version number then:
makepkg
pacman -U <packagename>

This usually works.
EDIT: post if there are problems

OK. BTW, you did  probably more work to post this than the build itself.

It doesn't build due to some weired cross platform issues(M$ preferred) and gcc-3.4 interferences(nitpickaing about the M$ proprietary stuff). If you have a patch to get around it please post it.

Thanks,

My PKGBUILD:

pkgname=yafray
pkgver=0.0.7
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Yet another Free Ray Tracer"
url="http://www.yafray.org/"
depends=('gcc' 'libjpeg' 'zlib')
makedepends=('scons')
source=(http://www.yafray.org/sec/2/downloads/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz)

build() {
   cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
   scons arch=i686 prefix=/usr
   scons arch=i686 prefix=$startdir/pkg/usr install
}

Works fine for me...
