 ==== Compiling with gcc 4.3 under OS X ====
 
+For those who get weird errors, you can try compiling with gcc 4.3, which is not shipped with any version of Apple's XCode.  So you first have to get it from MacPorts and then patch a system library (certainly not the better way to do it, but for now the game is targetted for developpers, so you can manage to do it :) ).

  * `sudo port install gcc43 gcc_select`[[BR]]
-   You need this gcc version because the one provided by Apple is gcc 4.0.1 which will fail in compiling 0ad.  Note that gcc 4.1 will fail also (don't know about gcc 4.2).[[BR]]

+ * Right, you're almost ready to compile 0ad : you need to patch Apple's OpenAL (/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenAL.Framework/alc.h : replace all ALCvoid by void, except first one which is a typedef).  Indeed, as Jan said, "C allows parameters typedefed to void, C++ does not; GCC >=4.2 are now strict about the error" (and will end to compilation error).
 
  * Then, launch again the compilation starting from `./update-workspace.sh`
