Not a compile with debugging, but had another hang at the very end with
+p. I used cntl-c this time to try and exit the hung process. Got
messages a little different though not sure if of much more use:
==== [Paused... Press p to resume] ====================================
Press p, q, enter or press button 1 over displayed image to continue...
POV-Ray finished

Reminded again of :
https://github.com/POV-Ray/povray/issues/142
though I've not seen any hangs in your code as yet with sdl2 previews -
just x11 thus far.
---
The usual exit - where no blocks left 'un-displayed?' - and a cntl-c is
used instead of (p, q, enter or mouse 1) at the end normally shows:
==== [Paused... Press p to resume] ====================================
Press p, q, enter or press button 1 over displayed image to continue...^C
povray: received signal SIGINT: Interrupt; requested render cancel
POV-Ray finished
---
On the windows opening only on certain screens have found in further
playing the sdl2 and x11 options will both use my second screen if the
width is such that it fits on screen 1 but not screen 0. In other words,
both options seem to look for a screen size where the preview image will
fit if the first screen looked at isn't large enough.

It is not my intent. It was not my intent.
It is the direct consequence of libsdl being what they are.
They moved from 1.2 to 2.0, breaking backward compatibility of API, yet
keeping some identical signature (function name & parameter type) and
that has consequences : the initialization must be the one from the
library you intent to use, but having the same name, the linker might
pick either (i.e. the other one... ) so you cannot declare linkage for
both libraries (shared) at the same time.
I said linkage... well, guess who reuse the same name, in the same
workspace, with different values between both versions ?
You cannot even compile correctly if you get include from both libraries
in the same source. (they kept the SAME include-defence name, even when
the file are different... no mix of version at compilation time either)
hence, the detection during configure.
-X11 is the base (and you can have Xcursor if you dare as an option, but
it must be explicit), needed by both libsdl 1.2 and libsdl 2.0
(also if you have Xpm support, you get color icons, otherwise b&w old ones)
- if libsdl2.0 is there, it get selected, otherwise fallback to
libsdl1.2 if present.

Yep, I have also such kind of issues on X11 window, and despite having
focused on updating only the updated block, there might be some deeper
problem in current code (I oversimplified the old X11 code of povray,
dropping all the palette stuff and the double image buffering, and I'm
not sure I even merged late correction to scaled down window).
Lately, I even try to reinstall the setjmp/longjmp system, but it was a
worst idea. Handling X11 Destroy is still a problem (hit the close
button while rendering... and hope! Not a satisfying state)

Yes SDL2 is working fine, but THERE IS NO ICON ! ("it's not SDL2
problem" to read a ppm to make the RGBImage to use as icon, painful
mentality, when they have sound engines around)
Me ranting ? Maybe.

The opening on primary of SDL2 is not my design.
If you feel good at it, go and propose your changes.
X11 is more liberal, and the opening is delegated to the window manager
on the display. On dual-screen, it usually stays near the active cursor,
but you can set your preference to change it (in the limit of the window
manager capabilities): there is CLASS name and usual stuff for user
preference.
My problem(s) so far with X11 are:
- I'm not confident on multithreaded update of window
- the handling of the event queues, in both directions, at the end of
life (on empty scene to render, it might be some race condition and it
is painful to understand)
- destruction & reallocation of resources by two programs (i.e. two
consecutive run) seems to hit on the same pointers/window id/... which
can become messy when the first one ends with a broken pipe and
unprocessed events. (such as getting a creation of the second processed
before the deletion of the first .... which collides and fuck the second
process at random)
(remember the window id are a shared resource in the X11 screen, which
can be referred by whatever processes know them)
On the good side of X11, it's far easier to redirect over modern ssh.

OK. Thinking, for now, I'll try to create a branch from your work for my
working version of POV-Ray. Day to day using just the defaulted SDL2
routinely. I can that way at least look for buggy or interesting
behavior related to SDL2. Plus, I might be able to try one or more of
the experiments I had in mind off your SDL2 update given I failed to get
an SDL2 version working on my own.

Sorry to necro this thread but ...
Is this issue being addressed in the current 3.8 branch? I'm compiling
povray-3.8.0-alpha.10064268 on a Ubuntu-based distro after being advised it's
the most stable of the development versions. However, as others have posted
using either SDL1.2 or 2.0 throws errors in the compilation phase. I could
simply bash-script up a solution to invoke something like LXImage when the
render completes but having it "built in" is so convenient. :)
Just curious where this is at. I have some time now, retired and under
"lockdown" from the pandemic, to spend some time working on this problem.
However, if the 3.8 branch is no longer being actively developed (perhaps in
favor of 4.x?), or the SDL problem is addressed in another development version,
I'd like to know.
Any response is appreciated. Cheers.

re latest alpha compilation errors, was discussed here:
<http://news.povray.org/povray.beta-test/thread/%3C5c6b6863%241%40news.povray.org%3E/>
(I've posted a patch there too, hopefully making the BASH scripting unnecessary)

FIXED
Well, it was fairly simple to fix when using SDL1.2. I added:
using namespace std:
to povray-3.8.0-alpha.10064268/unix/disp_sdl.cpp:
using namespace std;
using namespace vfe;
using namespace vfePlatform;
and it all compiles and works fine. I spent most of my time doing C programming
and not C++ so the namespace solution didn't jump out at me at first.
I'll leave changing over to SDL2 for later. It appears I'd have to mess about
with the m4 files ... ;)
Cheers.

My 0.02c : Please have a look at hgpovray38 fork, where SDL2 is
available. Hope this can help a bit.
https://github.com/LeForgeron/povray
Sadly, linking to support both SDL1.2 and SDL2 is not possible.
