Tell the admins responsible for the machines to sync the clocks. It's quite important for reliable operation of `make', otherwise weird failures may occur, because parts have not been updated the way they should have. > > For this, you can use > > "-DBUILDDATE=\"`date +'%Y-%b-%d %R'`\"" > > Note that some (uncommon) compilers or compiler wrappers will be too > > stupid to parse your command line correctly.

At configure time: put this in configure.ac: build_time=`date +'%Y-%b-%d %R'` AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED([BUILDTIME], ["$build_time"], [build time]) Note that a rerunning of configure will then obviously change config.h, and thus cause all objects to be recompiled whose source includes config.h. Not the greatest solution. I guess you could also instead create a file buildtime.h.in with the line #define BUILDTIME @BUILDTIME@ and add AC_SUBST([BUILDTIME], ["\"`date +'%Y-%b-%d %R'`\""]) AC_CONFIG_FILES([buildtime.h]) to configure.ac. There was a thread about a similar topic here recently. Cheers, Ralf
