Lazy Foo's SDL tutorials on Linux
Posted: 29 Jan 2011, 12:38Hi, if you are interested in trying Lazy Foo's tutorials, most of them work on Linux out of the box.
But I found that multi-threading tutorials don't. According to SDL documentation, SDL isn't thread-safe on Linux, if you don't use X11's multi-threading capabilities. So you have to add something to the tutorial code to work.
For example for tutorial 33's code insert these:
Then they should work.

8 #include <X11/Xlib.h>
76 //Initialize X11 multithreading
77 XInitThreads();
Then they should work.
