Hello !
My family has another baby on the way, so there are no promises.
Damnit Sam, you KNOW babies are bad for OSS projects!
But a way of a lifetime project 
My best wishes.

As I thought I’d made clear in my original post (but everybody seems to
be completely ignoring it), the real problem isn’t the restriction to a
single thread, but the fact that it has to be the main thread.
This isn’t an SDL limitation, on platforms where you have to do that,
it’s a platform limitation. As far as I’m aware, SDL doesn’t care what
thread you use (but if the underlying platform will screw up, it can’t
help you)…so as a general guideline, SDL’s documentation tells you not
to do it.
Yeah, the basic rule is “the thread that created the window”.
I think that SDL creates the window in it’s WinMain(), which may be
the problem here. This was to work around DirectX problems if you
create the window in other threads, but that’s not an issue if you’re
working with OpenGL exclusively.
See ya,

Uh, Sam… you do know that in a rather short time they turn into teenagers,
don’t you? Hoo boy, are you gonna be sorry then!
BTW, the “owner’s manual” is the book “Fatherhood” by Bill Cosby. I highly
recommend it.

Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase “trains on the brain,” huh?

Nah, soon as he/she hits the teenage years, the rebellious attitude will
kick and they’ll be DirectX programmers. ;)On Thu, 2007-10-18 at 10:27 +0100, neil at cloudsprinter.com wrote:

Or do we still need to talk about BeOS, IRIX, OSF, AmigaOS, etc… ?
AROS (open source implementation of the AmigaOS with lots of hosted and
native ports) is alive and kicking, and actively maintaining an SDL
port.
