this should get you started:
pthread_t thread_handle;
void *fltkRun (void *arg);
extern "C" void FL_run (FLRUN *p)
{
#ifdef WINDOWS
#warning blech
#endif
#ifdef LINUX
if (pthread_create (&threadHandle, 0, fltkRun, p)) {
... error ... thread not created ...
}
#endif
}
at this time, you have a thread that has called fltkRun with the FLRUN
pointer as its argument (cast to void *). it will run until
that function returns, or pthread_exit() or exit() or pthread_cancel()
are successfully called.
for prototype reasons, you may need to wrap the real fltkRun function
in a wrapper to make it match the demands of pthreads.

ps. i don't see where gabriel passes the FLRUN pointer to his windows
thread, but i guess it can look up in the registry, and then check
with microsoft.com if its NULL :)
