Yet another GTK3 - SDL2 topic

[audetto]

This question has been asked many times, but could not find a solution.
I would like to use GTK3 to open some modal (configuration) dialogs in a SDL2 app.

After reading

GTK2 + SDL2 (partial fail)

I’ve a SDL that on linux uses a gtk2 file chooser, I’ve just migrated it to SDL2 and I’m finding a strange problem connected with the initialization order of the two libraries: SDL_Init -> gtk_init -> OK gtk_init -> SDL_Init -> CRASH Here is a simple program that trigger this behaviour: #include <gtk/gtk.h> #include “SDL.h” int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { // swap SDL_Init and gtk_init to make it work gtk_init(&argc, &argv); if (SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO ) < 0) return -1; GtkWidget …

Combining SDL windows and GTK+ windows in the same program

I can get a gtk dialog to open, but when I close it, the window does not go away.

Tried to add

while (gtk_events_pending()) // are there GTK events to handle
gtk_main_iteration();

but it is not make any difference.

Is this possible at all?
Should one instead use embed SDL into GTK?
Are there any (good) example out there?

I am not looking for a full integration, but simply a way to get (modal) configuration dialogs available.
