995	SDL on OSX, How does it work ?	paines		"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.
