[Bf-committers] Console patch update and question about Mac usage

[Ed Halley]

This is all basically as expected.  On a Mac, a GUI application is  
wrapped in a .app "directory" structure with certain expected  
elements inside.  The actual application cannot get mouse or keyboard  
interaction and window decorations if it doesn't connect to the  
window manager, and that's done by loading the .app, not the Unix  
binary directly.

 From the command line, you can "open path/to/Blender.app" or just  
double-click it.  The OS will in turn run the Unix binary in the  
right environment to connect to all the interactive supports.
