How to fix "multiple build commands for output file" warning

• Mason Mark How to fix "multiple build commands for output file" warning Nov 10 2005, 07:13
  Hi. I recently started getting the following warning:
  
  "Checking DependenciesWarning: Multiple build commands for output
  file /Users/mason/BUILD/Release/iGet.app/Contents/Resources/
  ErrorCodeFormatStrings.plist"
  
  This a somewhat complex Xcode project which includes ten other Xcode
  projects and builds targets from them (frameworks, helper tools,
  Automator plugins and such). The project also has six targets of its
  own that it builds.
  
  Anyway, so maybe the dependency checking is hard/unusual in this
  case, but I cannot find anything special about the file that is flagged.
  
  I'd like to fix it, since it's the only warning and we supposedly
  have a "no-warnings" policy. On the hand, if it's a bug I could just
  wait for a fix... but I couldn't really figure out what it's trying
  to tell me.
  
  I'm using the latest and greatest Xcode 2.2 preview (655.0/658.0/651.0).
  
  Thanks for any info or workarounds,

  Remove this file from your project. Restart Xcode.
  Add the file back to the project. Restart Xcode
  Build.
  
  Problem solved?

  Yeah, thanks!
  
  Actually after deleting it and restarting Xcode, I noticed a
  reference to the file was still listed somewhere else in the project--
  it had somehow gotten two references to the same file. So I deleted
  that one too, then re-added it.
  
  Anyway, your suggestion did the trick.
  
  Cheers,

  Restarting Xcode is unnecessary; you don't even need to close and
  reopen the project.
  
  Xcode warns you if you have two sources that end up creating the same
  built product file, whether in Rez, copy resources, or compilation.
