Date: Wed, 14 Nov 2007 22:20:27 -0500 From: Calvin Vette Subject: Fix to compile SDL-1.2 SVN on OS X Leopard I found I needed to add a conditional check for Leopard to compile cleanly on 1.2-SVN (20071114): #include <AudioUnit/AudioUnit.h> #ifdef AVAILABLE_MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_5_AND_LATER #include <AudioUnit/AUNTComponent.h> #endif where there is now just: #include <AudioUnit/AudioUnit.h>

.SH "NAME"
SDL_SemWait\- Lock a semaphore and suspend the thread if the semaphore value is zero\&.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
\fB#include "SDL\&.h"
#include "SDL_thread\&.h"
.sp
\fBint \fBSDL_SemWait\fP\fR(\fBSDL_sem *sem\fR);
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBSDL_SemWait()\fP suspends the calling thread until either the semaphore pointed to by \fBsem\fR has a positive value, the call is interrupted by a signal or error\&. If the call is successful it will atomically decrement the semaphore value\&.
.PP
After \fBSDL_SemWait()\fP is successful, the semaphore can be released and its count atomically incremented by a successful call to \fISDL_SemPost\fR\&.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.PP
Returns \fB0\fR if successful or \fB-1\fR if there was an error (leaving the semaphore unchanged)\&.
.SH "EXAMPLES"
