Hi all, Is there any way to set stdout back to the console? I tried this: FILE* oldStdout; *oldStdout = *stdout; //Causes the window app to crash. bummer. SDL_Init(...); fclose(stdout); *stdout = *oldStdout; Hrmmmm... Thanks.

I haven't tried this anytime but this is the solution that comes to my mind:

FILE *stdoutBackup;FILE *sdloutBackup;// InitstdoutBackup = stdout;SDL_Init();sdloutBackup = stdout;stdout = stdoutBackup;....// At exitstdout = sdloutBackup;SDL_Quit();

Hi, not a direct answer but take a look at this thread (Annoying Problem (SDL Related?)) with a similar problem. Maybe you can use the solution suggested at the end of the thread.

Edit: My apologies, I thought this thread was posted by the same person. Re-opened.

A Windows-only solution is detailed here.

Sorry about the mix-up.

Have a look at the cout to console in SDL thread.
