The compiler is trying to write a debug.xml for your application, and failing. If you are building via eclipse, I would expect to find the generated files in the bin folder within your project folder. So, if your application was named Test, I'd expect you to find bin/Test.prg (the compiled application), and bin/Test.prg.debug.xml (the debug data). It is this latter file that is the problem.

I've got no idea why the compiler is having trouble writing that file, but my bet is that a process has it open for exclusive access. This can happen if you have it open in an editor. If the process in question is hung, you may need to force kill it or reboot.

topcaser - Were you able to resolve this issue? What was the resolution? Did you find the root cause?

Hi Travis, you pointed me in the right direction. For some strange reasons the bin directory on my NAS was not writeable any more. Indeed also the windows explorer did crash as soon as I want to put anything in that directory. I was forced to login as admin and fix things there. I have no clue what happened but any other directory around the bin directory was write accessable.
