Can not build

[PAS]

I'm trying to to build from the source getting the following error

ld: file not found: ../build/Debug/Oolite.app/Contents/MacOS/Oolite
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

Xcode 4.4

OS Mountain Lion

Any Ideas ?

No real ideas. I get a similar error with XCode 3.x on Snow Leopard with debug builds:

Code: Select all

ld: file not found: ../build/Debug/Oolite.app/Contents/MacOS/Oolite
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
Command /Developer/usr/bin/clang failed with exit code 1

This error though is only there because of a previous error that fails to build oolite. And than for the second it is logic that it can't find the compiled file
So, any previous error would be more helpful.

You could try making an other build by selecting in the XCode menu Project->set Active Build Configuration->TestRelease
(It builds in a different folder that the debug builds)

That helps for me, but my problem should not be there on XCode 4.x

The equivalent in Xcode 4 is to select “Oolite - Test Release” from the Scheme pop-up. But as Eric suggests, this error cannot happen unless there’s a preceding error.

Thanks will give it a go, just started using a Mac done most of my programming under Linux so on a bit of a learning curve.
