Hey Nicolas,

Okay, I figured out the bug, and I think I have it fixed. No need to share your 
code or compiler output anymore! Once the next nightly build finishes, you 
should be able to download it to get the fix.

It turned out to be a case sensitivity issue. I was able to reproduce the issue 
when I typed the Windows drive letter in uppercase when I set the output 
compiler option to an absolute path. The compiler seemed to be expecting 
lowercase instead when it was doing some equality checks. Slashes were actually 
not a problem. It looks like Java is correctly switching everything to 
backslash on Windows

If you don't want to update to a nightly build, you should be able to 
workaround the issue instead. Play around with the absolute path that you pass 
to the output compiler option. It could be as simple as changing the case of 
the drive letter (if it's uppercase, try lowercase... or if it's lowercase, try 
uppercase). If that doesn't work, you might also need to check that you're 
using the correct case of any directory names in the path too.
