CodeWarrior Build error

Every so-often I get a build error:-

mingw32-make: *** No rule to make target Dropbox//Projects/\Project_x/\Project_Headers/\../\Sources/\Events.c',                     needed by `Sources/Events_c.obj'.  Stop.

The file Events_c.obj does, of course, exist, but the usual remedies do not work. I tried a Clean build, I deleted Events_c.obj', I deleted the whole Flash folder, I tried shutting down and re-starting but nothing worked. I ended up creating a new project and cut and pasted the source file content. This problem occurs once every few weeks and on a couple of occasions, after the computer was "sleeping", the problem cleared itself.

Re: CodeWarrior Build error

This sounds less like an issue with the .obj file itself and more like a stale or malformed dependency path in the generated Makefile. The Dropbox//Projects/\Project_x... path with the odd slashes is a big clue. I’d check whether the project is being built directly from a Dropbox-synced folder and try moving it to a local, non-synced directory. Also, compare the generated dependency/Makefile entries when the problem occurs with a working build. If the error disappears after the Dropbox folder syncs or the PC wakes, that would further point toward Dropbox/file-system timing rather than the source file.     

Re: CodeWarrior Build errorThanks, the sync issue makes sense, but it will be a few days before I can try it.
