Is example01 TextInput supposed to print entered characters onto the command-line?

Hi!

I'm new to Lua and also to lua-lwtk. After installing lua-lwtk using the github-hosted rockspec I tried running example01.lua and, while the window shows up, anything I type into the TextInput does not display inside the TextInput, but instead prints onto the command-line where I ran lua example01.lua. Is this expected behavior or is there something funky going on?

Thanks!

This is a special MacOS problem: For macOS GUI programs you need a special folder structure with a Info.plist file (also known as "bundle"). See for more details: #1

Sorry, did not see that issue. Will check it out...

Thanks! 👍

No problem, this topic should better be mentioned somewhere in the documentation somehow...
