For giggles, to make sure it is not an absolute path issue, what if you made
the paths the same from the root of the HD and user folder on your second Mac?
Create a user that has the same short user name as on the Mac where it works and
rename the boot drive to be the same thing. Move the project to the same place
on the new Mac. Try building it from there.
Fingers crossed for you.
