Most of the driver is cross-platform, however, some code in:

is necessarily platform-specific (paths, details of loading dynamic libraries at runtime) and was only initially implemented for Windows. Valve is shipping SteamVR lighthouse drivers for OS X at this time.

Also, it has come to my attention that while SteamVR has the driver_lighthouse.dylib file in a osx32 directory, it's actually a universal binary, so getPlatformDirname() here https://github.com/OSVR/OSVR-Vive/blob/master/FindDriver.cpp#L78 on Mac should be hard-coded to always append 32 regardless of build bitness. (Why would you append 32 if you're going to make it universal? just leave off the suffix... arg)

Just checking that is this suppose to be fixed by those merges?

I'm getting this when trying to run ViveDisplayExtractor:

libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type osvr::vive::CouldNotLoadDriverModule: Could not load driver module: dlopen(/Users/zero/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/SteamVR/drivers/lighthouse/bin/osx32/driver_lighthouse.dylib, 10): Library not loaded: @loader_path/libaitcamlib.dylib
  Referenced from: /Users/zero/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/SteamVR/drivers/lighthouse/bin/osx32/driver_lighthouse.dylib
  Reason: image not found

Running OSX 10.10.5 and I've latest SteamVR installed.

Yes, it should work, but you have to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH or DYLIB_LOADER_PATH or something like that to include the lighthouse driver dir. No working mac here anymore so I can't test, but it's something like that. Documentation contribution on osvr-docs would be greatly appreciated.
