Xcode no longer generating .o /i384/.. files

[JCS]

When I create a new XCode project of ANY type and compile it I am get a missing file linking error.

It seems XCode will no longer generate the files that need to reside at :

AppName/build/AppName.build/Debug-iphonesimulator/AppName.build/Objects-normal/i386/……missingFiles

with the .o extension .

I have no clue where this setting may be or if I should reset xcode ?


If reseting to defaults is the case, I have run into this method for resetting Xcode on the net.

To reset Xcode to its factory settings for the logged-in user, run these commands in Terminal:

> defaults delete com.apple.Xcode

> rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Xcode

Has anyone a solution and or has anyone reset xcode in the above method?
Thank you

are you using XCode 3 or 4 ?
if you can't make it work, just reinstall it, long time ago I had weird linker errors too, got rid of them after a clean install :/

Thank you for responding
I’m using 4.3 If I remember correctly I was starting to look into developing Ipad applications versus iphone that is why I’m wondering whether it was some setting I may have inadvertently changed. I would prefer to fix and arrive at a deeper understanding than to immediately reboot so to speak.

I have uninstalled via the terminal twice and reinstalled twice Xcode 3. 2.6. Still at the same place. It will not generate this mirrored file .o set. I even tried Time Machine to set the root developer file back a month that did’nt work.Thinking this may be a Dev license thing.

Will post if I get it to work without having to upgrade to Lion /Xcode4
