Description tkellerer 2003-04-13 22:57:33 UTC 
After moving my project directory around I
couldn't start my application any longer because I
got an NPE, which was cause due to the no-longer
existing working directory for the external
compiler which no longer existed. I think some
message that the directory does not exist or
something similar would be better

NB4.0 solves this by BuildTargetOutputFolder.
Comment 2 Jan Becicka 2004-06-23 09:17:28 UTC 
Fixed in promo-D. Relevant code completely rewritten.
