title: SDL App won't open unless Framework is installed in /Library/Frameworks
body: <p>I have built a very simple app with Xcode 3.1.4 on OSX 10.8.</p>
  
  <p>It starts in 10.8 <em>if</em> I have SDL.Framework installed in <code>/Library/Frameworks/SDL.framework</code>. (SDL 1.2.15 from the SDL site.)</p>
  
  <p>I also tried it in another Mac, with OSX 10.9. It doesn't work there either, with the same error message:</p>

  <p>I have tried to find an answer on Stack Overflow and other sites, but can't make any suggestion so far work.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried for instance to run this script after the app is created:</p>
  
  <pre><code>#!/bin/sh
  
  APP="${1?}"
  
  echo "Copying SDL"
  cp -r "/Library/Frameworks/SDL.framework" "${APP}/Contents/Frameworks/"
  
  echo "Changing package identification of SDL"
  install_name_tool -id \
          @rpath/../Frameworks/SDL.framework/SDL \
          "${APP}/Contents/Frameworks/SDL.framework/SDL"
  </code></pre>
