  I think you'd need (at least) a text subdirectory of _out but it's always simpler not to use --output-directory which greatly complicates the processing model and provides no features.

@DavidCarlisle proposed a solution in comment of the OP. It seems to be sufficient to create a subdirectory _out/text for the compilation to succeed.

I had the same issue and solved it by writing a build script that creates subdirectories in my build folder that mirror the subdirectories in my source folder before compiling:

#!/bin/sh



for OUTPUT in $(find src -type d)

do

  mkdir dist/$OUTPUT

done



pdflatex -output-directory=./dist ./src/main.tex

This saves you having to manually create subdirectories every time you add one.
