Summary

Unable to link newpath to oldpath

Description

In the process of committing build outputs to disk (here, creating a hard link to an existing file), Electric Make (eMake) was unable to create a hard link.

Reasons

Because the error involves an external system in this context (the filesystem on the eMake host), the list of possible causes for this error is virtually limitless: a corrupted filesystem; hardware failure; insufficient permissions; and so on.

Fixes

The fix depends on the cause of the error.
