[PD] [leapmotion] how to get focus?

[rolfm at dds.nl]

i finally got my hands on a Mac: 

installed the same Pd, leapmotion software, [leapmotion] for Mac. 

with my controller i got immediate result. 

the message "focus gained" appeared instantly,  

and i could use the cursor-test: moving around and firing the bang. 

it really looks like there's something not right with [leapmotion] for
Windows. 

(the leapmotion apps available for V2 are also working onmy Windows
machine). 

NB fwiw, when opening leapmotion.h in Visual Studio there appears this
message 

"// this project is built against LeapDeveloperKit_2.3.1+31549_mac, and
requires the same version of libLeap.dylib"
