+ <p> In addition to downloading LISPBUILDER you need to install the SDL
framework
+ <a href="http://www.libsdl.org/";>available here.</a>
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ To use SDL you first need to compile the OS-X specific helper library
located
+ in lispbuilder-sdl/cocoahelper, just cd to this directory and type
"make".
+ Then before trying to run any SDL programs you need to load the
cocoahelper
+ package:
+ <pre>(asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op :cocoahelper)</pre><br>
+ This creates an instance of NSApplication that serves as a bridge
between SDL
+ and Cocoa, similiar to that used by the Python project Pygame. If this is
+ successful, you should see the icon for a generic OS-X ap appear in your
dock.
