Unfortunately, it failed again with the same error.

I would like to cite from the mentioned newsgroup: “comp.sys.mac.programmer.codewarrior”:

I've had a few other people reporting this and the problem in each of 
their cases were they had set up an access path to the Frameworks.  You 
don't set up an access path you add the framework to the target and it 
will set up a Frameworks access path (with the greek F in the access 
paths panel).

Could this be your problem too?

Ron


I guess, our problem might be similar: it might have something to do with the framework paths. 

Unfortunately, the reply on Rons question didn't make a clear statement whether the problem could be eleminated. According the complete discussion in the news group this might be a nasty problem in CW IDE (please take a look at the thread in this newsgroup, searching "206004").

Ruslan, please could you check this possible problem in the project "VSDK_KERNEL.mcp", too?


Thanks
