I think that code that is searching for the files is not Mac-
compatible - I have no one near me. Tomorrow I'll look at the
sources.

Maybe some Mac guru can answer the questions:
- is there any way to recognize that C++ program is compiled for Mac
  (what macro are typical Mac C++ compiler defines?),
- what character is the directory separator at Mac (it's '/' in Unix,
  '\' in Windows)?
