SDL crashes

SDL Development
1

This code worked for me when I used Suse 5.3, but after I installed Redhat 5.2 yesterday it crashes. At the pollevent line it says ‘Fatal signal: Segmentation Fault (SDL Parachute Deployed)’

When I comment out the pollevent-block the program doesn’t stop when I press ESC. As I said before it worked just a few days ago with suse.

Of course the program is bigger than this, but I don’t think it’s relevant to this problem. The example programs that uses events crashes too. I’m using SDL 0.9.8, and I tried to recompile SDL on the Redhat system, but it didn’t help.

void loop()
{
int exit = 0;
SDL_Event event;
Uint8 *keystate;

while (!exit)
{
keystate = SDL_GetKeyState(NULL);
if (keystate[SDLK_ESCAPE])
{
fprintf(stderr,“Quit”);
exit = 1;
}

if (SDL_PollEvent(&event) == 0) 
{
  switch (event.type)
  {
  case SDL_QUIT:
    {
      exit = 1;
    } 
  }
}

}

This was fixed by doing “make spotless” in the SDL directory and then
recompiling under the RedHat distribution. I suspect this has to do
with the fact that RedHat uses glibc and SuSE uses libc5.

See ya!
