Hello,
I believe I have found a bug in version 3.79 of gmake.
I ftp'd the src files from the ftp mirror site at
ftp://sunsite.utk.edu/pub/gnu/ftp/
I have attached a small gzipped tarfile which illustrates
the problem. you should be able to cd into the lib/
directory and just type "make".
I am trying to build a library, and it appears that make
has no problem with the first file, but then has a problem
when it tries to add the second file to the library -- it
complains that the nonexistent file in the library has a
clock time in the future (in the year 2010) -- the message
I get is:
-------------------------------------------------------------
make[1]: *** Warning: File
`/home/martin/users/dmartin/temp/Chombo/lib/src/BoxTools/../../libboxtools2d.Solaris.g++.g77.DEBUG.a(BitSet.o)'
has
modification time in the future (2010-02-22 13:41:28.709551616 > 2000-12-08
15:59:58.162069552)
ranlib
/home/martin/users/dmartin/temp/Chombo/lib/src/BoxTools/../../libboxtools2d.Solaris.g++.g77.DEBUG.a
make[1]: warning: Clock skew detected. Your build may be incomplete.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
This works fine with make version 3.77, so it would appear to
be a feature of 3.79. As suggested, I have included the config.h
file generated in the installation process (also in the lib
directory). Also, I am running on a Solaris platform.
Please let me know if there is anything else you need from me.
Thanks,
Dan
