    You may optionally choose to copy the SDK folders to a location outside the repository (so you can re-use with different checkouts and different projects). 
    If so our CMake find module expects you to set the ENV variable 'HIFI_LIB_DIR' to a directory containing a subfolder 'oculus' that contains the three folders mentioned above.

+   NOTE: On OS X there is a linker error with version 0.2.5c of the Oculus SDK.
+   It must be re-built (from the included LibOVR_With_Samples.xcodeproj) with RRTI support.
+   In XCode Build Settings for the ovr target, set "Enable C++ Runtime Types" to yes.
+   Then, Archive and use the organizer to save a copy of the built products.
+   In the exported directory you will have a new libovr.a to copy into the oculus directory from above.
 
 2. Clear your build directory, run cmake and build, and you should be all set.
