I dived into the source code of the CleanIDE and found out that the CleanIDE has problems if
some "Clean System Files" sub directories do not exist. If you want to get rid of this warning,
then somehow create such a sub directory, e.g. by compiling (not bringing-up-to-date) your
module. But I don't know whether this warning has fatal consequences or not (the author of the
CleanIDE is on vacation).

In the Clean 1.3.2 distribution the compiler (cocl.exe) is located in the same directory as the
(old) CleanIDE. With the new (2.0) CleanIDE you can set a path to the cocl.exe file. By default
this is the "tools" sub directory of the folder with the CleanIDE. Does this folder exist and
does it contain the cocl.exe ?

You can set these parameters in the Environment/Edit_Current/Tools dialog of the new CleanIDE

This is of course always a solution.

No. I also experienced that the new CleanIDE refuses to compile somtimes.

The plan was to make the CleanIDE open source.
