+1  Q: 

could not create output file""

Hello !

I was trying to compile and project file ,taken freshly from the VSS and it was throwing an error

          could not create output file" release\emsDataAccess.dcu " .

Strangely the error was pointing to line "90" where as the last line of code in the error-file (emsDataAccess.pas) is"75".

Kindly help! Regards -Vas

Does your release subdirectory exist? The compiler won't create it for you, and if it's not in the VSS repository chances are it's missing in a fresh checkout.

i was observing in my VSS , that not all the Projects have an "release subdirectory "...only some projects have them .whats the criteria/guidelines when a project needs an release subdirectory?Do have to interact with the DB?

vas: You should consult with the creator / owner of the projects in VSS. There are no rules, just best practices. However, all directories referenced in the project need to be there, either directly from the checkout, or from a helper script preparing the build after checkout.
