I bought a new G4 and transferred all my development projects from
the old 'home directory' to the new one using a crossover cable and
file sharing.
None of the projects will build. A "Missing file or directory" error
is thrown for each file in the project. Cleaning the project does
not help.
If I create a totally new small project it builds and runs fine.
Any idea why my old projects will not build? Thanks for any help.
Take a look at the Info panel for each file - at the top is a
drop-down list titled "Reference Style." The default is "Project
Relative" - I'd be willing to bet that, at some point, it was changed
for the missing files to "Absolute Path" instead.
To fix the path of the files that PB can't find, use the "Set
Path..." button in the Info panel. You might want to reset them to
the "Project Relative" reference style, as well, to keep them from
breaking if you need to move the project folder again.

Oddly the files were group referenced. In any case sorting out the
references got me running again. Thanks
Oops! Not running so well after all. Files were all group relative
before transferring and this was not changed when the files were
transferred to the new machine.
However, the only way I can get the transferred Obj-c files to be
recognized at build time is to use the Choose path.. button on each
file and reselect the group relative path (I guess reminding some
record of the reference). The file reference info as displayed does not
change when I do this!
I cannot get the project to recognize anything in the English.lproj
directory, regardless of the reference type.
A friend sent me a project which built and ran fine as does a simple
project I have just created. It seems clear that the problem lies in
the file references but I cannot sort it out. The PB Help menu talks
about references but is not helpful with my problem.
The source computer is a G4 with 10.2.4 and December developer tools.
The new computer is running the same OS and tools. Thanks again for
any help.
