GenerateDSYMFile warning: unable to open object file

The background: I have a project that I last built on 10.5 on a PPC computer using xcode v3.1. It builds against the 10.4 SDK. I now have a MacBook with 10.6 on it and Xcode v3.2.1. I installed the 10.4 SDK with xcode. So now I want to build the project on an intel chip on 10.6. I first get a build error because I have the wrong version of gcc setup so I change the build settings to use gcc 开发者_运维问答4.0.

The problem: Now when I build the project I get the following warning: GenerateDSYMFile "build/Release/What's Keeping Me?.app.dSYM" "build/Release/What's Keeping Me?.app/Contents/MacOS/What's Keeping Me?" cd "/Users/hmcshane/Development/ Cocoa Projects/What's Keeping Me?" /Developer/usr/bin/dsymutil "/Users/hmcshane/Development/ Cocoa Projects/What's Keeping Me?/build/Release/What's Keeping Me?.app/Contents/MacOS/What's Keeping Me?" -o "/Users/hmcshane/Development/ Cocoa Projects/What's Keeping Me?/build/Release/What's Keeping Me?.app.dSYM"

warning: (i386) /Users/hmcshane/Downloads/Csu-71/crt.dynamic_no_pic.o unable to open object file warning: (ppc7400) /Users/hmcshane/Downloads/Csu-71/crt.dynamic_no_pic.o unable to open object file

Any idea what this is? And why is the path for the problem files rooted in my downloads folder? The project certainly doesn't reside there.

I see the annoyed warnings after upgrading to Xcode 4.5. Then I tried changing Build Settings/Debug Information Format value from DWARF with dSYM file to DWARF and every relative warning disappeared :)

I had the same issue on iPhone, when building a projet that linked against custom static libraries. I seems XCode complains because it can't find debug infos for some of the linked objects.

I fixed the problem by disabling "Perfom Single-Object Prelink" in the library build settings.

I don't know how well this solution applies to the initial issue, but as this page is the first Google answer…

If anyone gets this when building a C command line app in Xcode and is experimenting with cutting edge settings: I got this very same warning when I switched to Clang and enabled Link-Time Optimization (LLVM_LTO = YES) just for the fun of it.

This may also be caused by GENERATE_DEBUGGING flag turned on. Turning that flag off in project or target settings will also work.
