Can't cout (using opengl and sdl)

[Fooleo]

I know your thinking "another one of these topics!" but i assure you i have been looking around and can not find a fix for my problem.

So after initialize SDL i tried putting this code (as was directed by other forums/sites)

Code Select Expand


    freopen( "CON", "w", stdout );
    freopen( "CON", "w", stderr );

but i got nothing. So then i tried this (as directed by another site)

Code Select Expand


    if( init() == false )//initializes SDL
    {
        return 1;
    }
    ofstream ctt("CON");

    freopen( "CON", "w", stdout );
    freopen( "CON", "w", stderr );

//...game code and stuff, then right before i quit SDL:

    ctt.close();



I also tried "FILE * ctt = fopen("CON", "w" );" instead of "ofstream ctt("CON");" but i just got an error when i tried to close ctt saying that it was not of type FILE*, which is ridiculous.

What else can i do to make my program print to the console?? A lot of my debugging code utilizes the console (i was using GLUT and recently switched to SDL, which is why already have a lot of debugging code written that uses it). So I would really like to figure this out.

Thanks for your help.
