Hi Scott,

We usually find that the apple compilers are not suitable for compiling the ET; we support using MacPorts using the simfactory optionlists, as this provides a single way to install all the required compilers and components.  It's possible that we could make the apple compilers work, but there are other projects which have a higher priority.
