I tried this on OS X, but I get stuck running the thing

I get:

Error:dlopen(/Users/barbs/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/Counter-Strike/hw.dylib, 2): Library not loaded: release/vgui.dylib Referenced from: /Users/barbs/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/Counter-Strike/hw.dylib Reason: image not found Could not load hw.dylib.

:(

In linux, vgui.so and vgui2.so are in the directory above. Try adding them to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH env var or whatever the OS X equivalent should be. (that maybe why it didn't work in the first place, I don't know).

I guess it may be a whole different story on Mac. I haven't heard of anyone getting the native OS X Half Life running through Steam, though someone on reddit said they had it downloading...

That's DYLD_, and vanilla HL runs OOTB on OSX here.
