[Pal-devel] Running PAL on Mac OS X (Leopard)

[Kamil Shakirov]

Hi Tomi,

Thanks for hints. After I loaded cocoahelper I was able to run all pal
examples on mac os x (SBCL). Sound and graphics work just fine. But there
are some issues: the input from mouse and keyboard don't work at all. I will
try to fix it if I can.
