Hi everybody,


I've done "make -j 12" (after that I've written "CC=distcc ./configure") but at the end of the compilation I had this :

make[1]: warning: Clock skew detected. Your build may be incomplete.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/sst/test'
make: warning: Clock skew detected. Your build may be incomplete.

what does that mean please

Thank you for your help

Hi,

This is a french forum so maybe your question (and my answer) will be deleted.

Your error message means that the "make" tool detected a problem in the timestamp of files to compile.

This problem often occurs when the timestamp of a file is more recent than the host's clock or when the object file is more recent than the source file (because the source file was imported from another PC with a bad clock).

Hi,

Thank you for your answer that really helped

I just wanted to say that you may answer in what ever language you choose (I mean english or french of course), because I understand both, so it it isn't a problem at all I guess

Vous pouvez me répondre en utilisant le français ou l'anglais parce que je maitrise les deux

Merci
