I could not reproduce the problem after many tries. Although
it works here, i saw in the forum messages you placed "./"
before the directory. We are not on a unix system so you
should avoid that.
If this still happens with latest version, please attach your
project files here that we can try to reproduce again.

I have just stumbled upon this error when I copied a project
from a Windows XP computer to a Windows ME laptop and tried
to recompile. The project had an executable output dir which
was no longer valid on the laptop, and apparently that was
generating the error.
After fixing it, it still had the same error until I closed
Dev-C++ and opened the project again!
There are 2 things to fix:
1. Give an error message that actually describes the problem
2. Don't ignore changes of the executable output dir

Update: in version 4.9.9.1 (from CVS) the behaviour is
different: it creates the output folder if it doesn't exist.
This is not good in some cases, and it should give at least
a warning, with a choice to stop the compilation and change
the output dir.
(My previous message was related to the original 4.9.9.0)

Actually, it automatically creates the output folder when
the project is loaded. This is evil.

The final 4.9.9.1 (and the latest CVS build) also creates
the output folder (if it doesn't exist) when the project is
loaded. It is very, very bad.

The error I've seen occurs when the output folder is
relative to projet, not when folder doesn't exist. I'll
check the last release.
