I have the weirdest problem. I suspect something isn't installed right
on my Mac but I don't know how to fix it.

Each of my project contains a .plc source file - Property List Compiler
source. I think it's supposed to generate an Info.plist when it's
compiled, but I've never used one before.

In all my projects, I get the message:

Error: Property List Compiler - Cannot open output file.

I am using CodeWarrior 10 on a G5 running OS X 10.4.7.

I expected the problem to be an unwritable directory, but I've used "ls
-la" throughout my project. I own and am the group owner of all my
files and directories, and all my directories are writable by owner.

This happens on a fresh checkout of our source code. The project has
been in development for months. This never happens to any of my
colleagues, just to me.

Searching Google on the web or in this newsgroup didn't turn up any
clues.

I am grateful for any help you can give me.

Thanks,

Mike Crawford

One more data point - at least one of the other developers of this same
project gets the "Cannot open output file" message from the Property
List Compiler, but for him it's a non-fatal warning. I get a fatal
error and cannot complete my build.

The problem in which CodeWarrior can't create my .plist files turns out
to be that I'm using my predecessor's Macintosh - his last day here was
my first - and our project is configured to deploy its executables to
the Applications folder.

Deleting the executables entirely and rebuilding fixed the problem.
