Fatal compiler error: cannot link sbkernel

[NewsArchive]

Hi,

I am just starting to play around with SB5. I get the following error when
I try to compile: fatal compiler error: cannot link sbkernel. This was only
the second project that I tried to build. The first works fine, but for the
second I created a new folder that I was going to use to store all my
projects. I don't think I changed anything else. Is there some limitation
as to where you can store and create project files? If not, any ideas on
where I can look for my problem?

Thanks,

Michael Frazer

Could it be that you accidentally added the .SB5 file to the project?
I've done that a few times and I think that causes a compiler error.

Michael,

I think your Ouput Folder (General Properties) does not exist (or cannot be
created).

Interesting... I'll check this!

Friedrich,

I have checked the Output Directory [OUTPUTDIR] under project properties,
and it all looks ok. I even browsed to it using your browse option to be
sure that your program could find it ok. I wasn't sure what Arnor was
referring to when he mentioned that I may have "accidentally added the .SB5
file to the project?". Do the following two screens help? I'll restart
from scratch and document each change until I get the error if the following
can't help figure it out. Thanks,

Hi Michael,

The problem is your EXENAME under "Product Properties".

You have a path. It needs to be just an EXE name.

Hi Geoff,

Wow, very good. I think you are right... ;-)

Thanks very much Geoff - that was it. Since the OUTPUTDIR was already
stating the folder name I suppose the program was generating an output file
name of \foldername\foldername\exe.

Very much appreciated!

Freidrich,

I also meant to send this screen shot, in hopes that it might help in
figuring out what might be my problem.

Thanks,
