Delphi – could not create output file””

delphi

I was trying to compile and project file ,taken freshly from the VSS and
it was throwing an error

          could not create output file" release\emsDataAccess.dcu " .

Strangely the error was pointing to line "90" where as the last line of code in the error-file (emsDataAccess.pas) is"75".

Kindly help!

Does your release subdirectory exist? The compiler won't create it for you, and if it's not in the VSS repository chances are it's missing in a fresh checkout.
