[Mono-devel-list] SDL on mac os x: has anyone managed it yet?

[Jason Bell]

I've tried that, and variations on that theme.  For
example, calling CustomApplicationMain from c# with an
external declaration, or creating an unmanaged library
that initialises SDL, then calling said library from
c#.  No go.

I think the principle problem is the same as was
experienced with freepascal: your application has no
main function (lowercase m) to return to after
initialisation is done.

So thus far I've seen two scenarios as near as I can
tell:

1) Application starts, and SDL_Init is called, but
fails because the initialisations such as creating an
autorelease pool haven't been performed.

2) Application starts, and an initialisation function
of my own making in an unmanaged library is called, no
errors occur, but the application enters an infinite
loop, presumably because the program didn't return to
the c# Main function.
