#995: SDL on OSX, How does it work ?

 I compiled and installed the SDL egg using libsdl-framework via macports.
 When now compiling and running a Chicken App or using csi, it will
 segfault with an NSInternalInconsistencyException exception.
 Some sources state that SDLmain / SDL_Init must be called at first like
 this:
 (cond-expand
 (compile-sdl
 (declare (foreign-declare "#include \"SDL.h\"\n"))
 (foreign-code "SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_EVERYTHING);"))
 (else
 (sdl-init sdl_init_everything)))
 .... more code

 and then compile it with csc -feature compile-sdl file.scm under OSX,
 which still gives the same exception.

 One more suggestion is to use the parameter
 SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 ./myOSXBinary
 but this won't produce a working GFX context.

 I am not sure if this is a real bug, or I am just not using SDL correctly
 under Chicken + OSX. I hope someone can clear things up.
