On Linux, you want to use the pthread library. The equivilent of _createthread(...) in pthreads is pthread_create(...). You will need to include pthread.h.
For more info, check out http://www.llnl.gov/computing/tutorials/workshops/workshop/pthreads/MAIN.html Also, if you want to keep everything portable and use the same code on Windows and Linux, there is an LGPL pthread library for win32 at http://sources.redhat.com/pthreads-win32/ They also have some links to other tutorials. You will need to distribute the dll and let people know where the source is available, but those are minor inconveniences compared to dozens of #ifdef WIN32s in your code ;) Rob Prouse http://www.tourofdutymod.com At 06:53 PM 11/10/2002 +1000, you wrote: >This is a multi-part message in MIME format. >-- >[ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] >Following up from my post ages ago regarding making CPU threads... >I managed to do it with _createthread, however this only works in win32. >Is it possible to create a new CPU thread in the server dll under a linux >environment? > >I have a mate assisting me with the linux compile: > > > > > Hi, > > > > > > I looked for threads in halflife, cause the server crashes when creating > > > a > > > > > > thread.
