Er, yes that's a good point.  I see now -- it's about architecture not OS.
:-P  My bad.

I'm pretty sure that HL is compiled for x86 only.  Sorry about that.

On a side note, I don't believe that full source code is available (for
obvious proprietary reasons), but the SDK is the code that VALVe released to
allow other parties to develop other games/mods, etc. based on the HL
engine.

Do they actually give out the source for the HL server?  From a quick
google it looks like they provide binaries only and most likely these
are for i386.  If they only provide binaries for i386 that isn't going
to work on a Mac.  Linux binaries will only work for the architecture
they were compiled for.

This is assuming that the binary packages are not java code or something
like that.
