No Compiled Map

Just re-installed the SDK a few days ago. Now when i try to compile my maps i get the error message

The command failed. Windows reported the error:
"The system cannot find the file specified."

this relates to the compiled map being copied from the mapsrc to the deathmatch map folder.

but there usn't a comipled map in the mapsrc folder, anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it?

Post your compile log. In particular, look at the last thing VBSP does
before VVIS runs. Usually, it's a fatal error that stops VBSP before it
writes a bsp file, which means VVIS and VRAD do nothing, and there's no
map file to copy.

Here's the log

this is my friends map, so i'm not sure where the errors could be coming from

ive had something similar happen to me... but it doesnt look like its the same problem... basically i saved my map with a "." in it... for example..

"de_dust2.2" this will give u an error when compiling... but again i dont think that helps u... thought i would post it anyways.. maybe u changed the name around?

Fix those errors and it'll be fine! Though off the top of my head I can't tell you what "Too many portal verts" means...

yeah i just deleted a load of cylinders (with many sides) and its now compiling...and its still takin its time, thanks for the help

For future reference, you can search for brush numbers in Hammer.
Just search for brush 6040 (the one the error messages say), and delete
that one.
