MAMEWorld Forums - EmuChat - SDL Multithreading or build issue?

Hi,

I've built SDLmame 0156 version and if I enable multithreading in the INI file it won't load. It just seems to hang up otherwise it seems to work ok. Is this a know issue with SDL builds on Windows?

Since, I think, SDL 2.0 is the default, I wasn't sure if I need to change something when doing a build. Can someone confirm that this command and options are/should be correct for an SDL build?

Code:

make -j5 TARGETOS=win32 TARGET=mame OSD=sdl PTR64=1 NOWERROR=1

Additionally, I also have the following 3 DLLs in the folder with the exe: QtCore4, QtGui4, SDL2. These 3 dlls and (SDL.dll) work with 0155. I don't think I need to replace those, but if I do, please point me in the right direction.

Also, should I be posting SDL related questions on the Bannister forums?

Here is the Verbose output:
