ofThread install instructions


Step 0) Copy ofThread.h and ofThread.cpp to libs/openFrameworks/utils

Step 1) Duplicate a project and rename it threadExample and replace testApp.h
	testApp.cpp and main.cpp with the thread demo files.

Step 2) in ofMain.h add underneath the line "#include ofUtils.h"

#include "ofThread.h"


Step 3) in of Constants.h change the line 

// then the the platform specific includes:
#ifdef TARGET_WIN32

To:

// then the the platform specific includes:
#ifdef TARGET_WIN32
	//this is for TryEnterCriticalSection
	//http://www.zeroc.com/forums/help-center/351-ice-1-2-tryentercriticalsection-problem.html
	#ifndef _WIN32_WINNT
		#   define _WIN32_WINNT 0x400
	#endif



Step 4) To run the demo app make sure in ofConstants.h you have 

using namespace std;
#include <string>   
#include <sstream>  //for ostringsream
#include <iomanip>  //for setprecision


Step 5) Also to run the demo make sure you have in ofUtils.cpp

//--------------------------------------------------
string ofToString(double value, int precision){
	stringstream sstr;
	sstr << fixed << setprecision(precision) << value;
	return sstr.str();
}

//--------------------------------------------------
string ofToString(int value){
	stringstream sstr;
	sstr << value;
	return sstr.str();
}

And also in in ofUtils.h:

string  ofToString(double value, int precision = 7);
string  ofToString(int  value);



Step 6) Add ofSleepMillis()

add the line bellow to ofAppRunner.h:
void		ofSleepMillis(int millis);


and add the code bellow to ofAppRunner.cpp
//--------------------------------------
void ofSleepMillis(int millis){
	#ifdef TARGET_WIN32
		Sleep(millis);			//windows sleep in milliseconds
	#else
		usleep(millis * 1000);	//mac sleep in microseconds - cooler :)
	#endif
