this is GMT=?

i bet, GMT time would be easier, because anyone know his GMT offset.

I think it would end up being 9:00A.M. GMT, this is probably more
helpful than the offset I gave in my last message.

Hi,
So I’m still hacking away on this audio application written in SDL
and I’m noticing some odd behavior which may or may not have to do with
SDL. The program sets everything up and then sits in a loop that updates
the screen and refills the audio buffer as needed. The beginning of this
loop looks like this:

while (done == FALSE)
{
/* release the CPU to other processes */
while (updateFrame == FALSE)
SDL_Delay(10);
…

A timer callback is in charge of periodically setting updateFrame to TRUE.
Anyway, the program uses 10-20% CPU under Linux when the above lines are
enabled. But when I comment out the ‘while (updateFrame == FALSE)’ line,
the program uses negligible CPU, much less than 1%. One codeveloper
reports that the program takes between 11-13% of the CPU in the Win32
version, regardless of those lines. Any clues why this would be?

I’ll try to prepare one this afternoon or this evening and send it
along. Also, while I’m thinking of it: During the initial ./configure
process, why does the audio Makefile take so unbelievably long to
generate?

Automake is dumb. :slight_smile:

It generates 3 MB of conditional data for the different platforms

I sent e-mail to the automake maintainers, but I haven’t received
any useful information yet.

See ya!
