File system error (#0)

Targets macOS
1

Using 2021 Release 1.1 on macOS Big Sur 11.3.1 on Intel.

The program runs fine when I choose “Run”, but I get an error on “Build”: Compilation of “MyProgram” failed. A file system error occurred (#0) for “MyProgram”. If the application already exists, please make sure that it is not currently running, otherwise please make sure that the destination directory is writable. I’m writing to a dropbox folder on my computer. I’m running Bitdefender anti-virus, but turned it off to test after this problem occurred. The program is not running.

Any thoughts?

Don’t use Dropbox for your project.

Right, don’t use Dropbox as the build destination. Dropbox locked files and folders while they are being transferred to their servers and prevents the IDE from writing the pieces it needs.

Thanks! That solved it, but this is a new problem. Don’t know if it’s a macOS upgrade or something else. I’ve been using Dropbox for several years now without a problem.

You’ve just been lucky.
