Hi everyone,

After learning more than I ever wanted to know about Mac OS X dyld, finding
that I need to upgrade my version of Xcode, and finally upgrading to OS X
10.6 to get the new version of the compiler, I am pleased to announce that
my lispbuilder-sdl-binaries for OS X ***actually work***. :-)

The downloads are available at the following link:

http://code.google.com/p/lispbuilder/downloads/list?can=2&q=mac-lispbuilder-sdl

For those of you who want a simple install, just extract these archives over
your preexisting lispbuilder-sdl install. (They only contain C binaries, and
not the Lisp source code.)

TODO: Make them asdf-installable. Shouldn't be hard, now that they work.

The gory details:

I had to hack the SDL_*.framework files using install_name_tool so that they
pointed relative to @loader_path instead of @executable_path. This allows
them to load when the libraries are in the same directory, rather than
expecting them to be packed together in an app file. The caveat of this
approach is that they will now always need to be in the same directory, so
if you extract them to separate locations, they won't work.
