Re: GFX under Linux

what was so hard about SDL??

#include <SDL/SDL.h>

int main() {

SDL_Surface *screen;

if (SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO) != 0) {
   printf ("unable to initialize sdl: %s\n", SDL_GetError());
   return 1;
}

//make sure sdl quits
atexit(SDL_Quit);

//open a screen
//set the 0 at the end to 1 for full screen mode
screen = SDL_SetVideoMode(800,600,16,0);
if (screen == NULL) {
   printf ("unable to set video mode: %s\n", SDL_GetError());
   return 1;
}

return 0;
}
