Starting Cocoa apps from the command line

Hello,

I have a Cocoa application that I am compiling in the traditional UNIX
manner using Makefiles and I want to be able to invoke it with
command-line arguments and without creating/installing it like
traditional OSX apps, as in "x.app/Contents/MacOS/x". When I tried the
usual thing that works on UNIX, compiling to binary and just running
it, my application got mouse events but no keyboard events, among
other strange things.

Is there a way to do this without making some kind of wrapper caller
that generates the directory and a script or some such? Or is it
wholly frowned upon to do what I'm wanting, and if so, why does it
half-work rather than fail with a decent error message?
