#536 BUG: Chronic project error

Hey folks,

I've come across this bug, in numerous different project
files I have been creating of late. This only occurs when I
set the "output file" field in the project options.

PROBLEM:
When opening a project file, I get the error "Output folder
<folder> cannot be created."

WORKAROUND:
- removing the output folder entry in the project options,
press OK, go back in and set it back to what it was.
OR
- closing the project, then immediately reopening.
OR
- compiling the project (which gives the above error for
every file compiled).

I can recreate this problem every time I open a project.

I have the version 4.9.9.2 of Dev C++, Windows XP SP2.

If you need more details, please email me at:

Hey, I have come across this problem too, It seems to
solve it if you put the full path instead of relative parts in
your project links.

e.g.

....\Libs\Vector.a would give me an error while
I:\Working\X\Libs\Vector.a is fine :)

If you use CVS or the like and check out the project source to
different folders on different computers, this won't help.
