ALEInterface + SDL crashes on Mac OSX 10.9 about arcade-learning-environment HOT 4 CLOSED

I have been able to recreate the issue on OSX 10.9. This functionality works as expected on Unix but apparently not on mac. Thanks for pointing this out, I'll look into fixing it!

from arcade-learning-environment.

A short term fix which got this working for me:

Add to sharedLibraryInterfaceExample.cpp:
#include "SDL/SDL.h"

And use the following make command:
bash-3.2$ g++ -I../../src -L../.. sharedLibraryInterfaceExample.cpp -framework Cocoa -lale -lz -lSDL -lSDLmain -lSDL_gfx -lSDL_image -o sharedLibraryInterfaceExample

I'll look into some longer term better solutions, but let me know if this fixes things for you.

The fix works, thank you very much!
I also tested it on OSX 10.8 and it's the same situation there (not working initially but the fix does the job).

The dev branch of ALE addresses this issue with a new sharedLibraryInterfaceExample and Makefile.sharedlibrary.
