Mac app v2.0.3 doesn't launch from bundle, but does from CLI #121

First off, thank you thank you @robhagemans for an amazing project.

Congrats on the 2.0.3 release.

Minor issue: I am seeing it not launch from Dock or directly from the app icon bundle, but something like open /Applications/PC-BASIC.app will work, as will going after the binary directly in Contents/MacOS/pcbasic.

Here is the report from Console.app. I think it might be something related to the packaging process itself.

Thanks for the report - I'll have to look into it. Macs are weird... I thought I'd tried running it from the bundle, but maybe not. Also I'm working with an old version of MacOS. Given that ifrom the shell it seems to work, maybe there's some issue with it trying to write to standard i/o which I think doesn't exist when run from the dock; I've had issues with that on Mac before

I think this has been fixed with release 2.0.4 - it works for me now.
