[Vortex] Vortex_mutex issue under Linux?

[Daniele Ricci]

Hi everyone,
this is my problem: it seems the vortex_mutex lock/unlock mechanism works well under Windows,
but not under Linux. 
More deeply, this is my situation:

- a listener that dynamically loads/modifies/deletes some data into datastructs; 
  it implements a frame_received callback making an internal call to a function that reads from 
  the datastructs, sending the results to the initializer/client.
  Our dev. group uses vortex_mutex_lock/unlock method to protect the access to that datastruct,
  so every time a callback to frame_received() starts while the main process is 
  loading/modifying/deleting data, the mutex should stop the new thread right before it begins to read
  the structs.
  Actually, under Linux, it seems the mutex lock inhibits only vortex functions to work (ex: "send_ans") and not the
  whole piece of code. The same thing does not happen under Windows.  

- The following are the libraries we are using:
  
  WIN Server 2003:
     vortex-1.0.16 (vortex installer) -> Visual Studio 2005
  LINUX debian 2.6.26-2-686:
     vortex-1.0.17.b3739.g3739 (tar.gz) -> gcc 4.3.2-1.1

I wonder if there's any explicit option to tell gcc to use vortex mutex in the right way:
now i'm using the following:

  gcc 'xml2-config --cflags --libs' 'pkg-config --cflags --libs vortex' -lrt 

Thanks in advance for your replies,
Daniele Ricci
