just downloaded quake3 source and opened in xcode, I tried to compile, first I got: q_math.c:816: error: asm blocks not enabled, use `-fasm-blocks' so I added it to the build settings, now I get: Quake3 (Application):0: Command /Developer/Private/jam failed with exit code 1 I haven't done much with xcode so I have no idea what this means. Thanks for any help!

If jam failed, then there was an error higher up; check your compile log.

IMHO you should be using the icculus ioquake3 project instead of the official id sources; they've started cleaning up the code (such as removing inline assembly) and making it work better for more modern equipment.

worked, thanks!
