SDL Help!
Author
I just got SDL installed on my mac running os x and i''ve been playing around looking up how to get pretty pictures on the screen. I have a full screen window, but I can''t seem to get a windowed window to work, it pumps a bunch of stuff the terminal and dies. Also, events seem to not want to work. Am I missing some initialization steps here? Could someone post VERY simple working source code? Thanks in advance.
Life would be so much easier if we could just get the source code.
Thats just too bad. That is what you get for not using windows.............*evil nerdy laugh*.......Mwahahahaha!!!

Care to elaborate on what gets posted on the terminal? 
Maybe it holds an answer to what you''re doing wrong, and seeing as we''re not mind-readers, it''s hard to tell what could''ve gone wrong.
But yes, there''s a tiny bit of initialization that must be done. Wether you''ve done it right or not is hard to tell. Do you have some source you can post for us to have a look at?

Well, I don''t code on a Mac, but it looks to me from your source as though you never deinitialize.
You need to release the surface and then kill SDL (SDL_Quit). You REALLY, REALLY, REALLY should NOT do what you''re doing with the surface for safety reasons, because if it fails to initialize video you have no way of knowing and it''ll crash when you try to free the surface. Instead, try this.

OK, I tried what you suggested, RuneLancer, but I get the same thing. I had a peice of code looking like this:
int main(int argc,char** argv) {
SDL_Surface *video = NULL;
video = SDL_SetVideoMode(640,480,32,SDL_SWSURFACE);
printf("%i\n",!video);
if (!video) {
SDL_Quit();
return 1;
}
if (video) {
SDL_FreeSurface(video);
video = NULL;
}
SDL_Quit();
return 0;
}
The thing is, the program crashes and floods my terminal *before* reaching the printf. That printf never gets executed! So the actual setting up of the surface crashes it. Please, anyone with similar problems help!

Well, y''know, I wasn''t giving you the source code, just showing you how to manage a surface.
Notice: there is no SDL_Init in there.

Those are all Cocoa errors, which is a little weird. If your SDL program is correct, I'd guess your SDL install isn't.
Edit: Also, don't call SDL_FreeSurface on the video surface. SDL_Quit does that for you.

My bad, that''s right. The video surface is freed automatically when SDL_Quit is called. I mixed it up with an offscreen buffer I was using in the program I copied that code from.
