OSX Issues

[lberezy]

Have an issue running the demo.

I'm on OS X (10.9.3) with guile (GNU Guile) 2.0.11 and allegro 5.0.9 (both installed via Homebrew) and I get the following error:

I know OS X isn't officially supported, but I thought I'd let you know what's up.

Perhaps this might prove useful. Something about a cocoa context needed before creating a display - I thought Allegro's job was to handle most of this though. Perhaps someone else can shed some light.

Thanks for the bug report, but this project is no longer maintained. I have continued this work in spirit by developing a 2d game engine in pure Guile Scheme called guile-2d. https://gitorious.org/guile-2d/guile-2d

Unfortunately, I have unresolved OS X bugs in guile-2d, too. :(

Ah damn, thought that might be the case.

Just read through the OS X issue in guile-2d, that sounds like a right
pickle. Hope it all clears up.

It will be cleared up when I no longer depend on guile-sdl. guile-2d should run on OS X just fine, but guile-sdl has major issues and needs to be replaced.
