For Cocoa backend with SDL 1.2 you need a SDLMain entry point.
Normally this is handled by `sdl-config`, not so with Xcode.

You are missing a "-F/opt/local/Library/Frameworks", as well ?
(so that it can find it in the ${prefix}, like with -I or -L)

libSDLmain.a is only included with the library (non-framework)
version of SDL, with the framework you need to compile SDLMain.m
