The SDK launcher application does more than just deliver the SDK Source files, it processes them also. So no, it wouldn't make sense to deliver them via the linux client, you need to copy them yourself.
As for utils/common/threads.cpp, we don't have a Linux port of that file as we don't have any Linux programs that use it. You would have to port it yourself. For dedicated server threading we actually use a different support library (in the tier0 binary), we have moved our toolset to use this functionality yet. - Alfred Ondrej Hošek wrote: > I quote from my previous e-mail: > > "Firstly, are there any hopes of the SDK source code being accessible > via the Linux Steam client too sometime, maybe as a "game" restricted > to > HL2 buyers?
