Yes, and Windows does this. > I don't use Windows so I don't know how it works: maybe it does the > intelligent thing, too, and there's something else wrong here. Yes. One common reason is that a system adminstrator has chosen to override the default clock synchronization mechanism (which, these days, is a passable implementation of ntp) and to synchronize the clock to local time, rather than to the One True UTC by some other method. My first port of call would be to find out the time zone configuration of the machine in question and how its clock is being synchronized. -------------------------- Martin's BlackBerry, BlueArc Engineering -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Li, Shiping (Sam) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CC: bug-make@gnu.org <bug-make@gnu.org> Sent: Sun Apr 02 22:22:06 2006 Subject: Re: Clock skew detected warning %% "Li, Shiping \(Sam\)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: ls> I am using gnumake to build a code and got below errors: ls> gnumake[2]: warning: Clock skew detected.

I am using winXP and all the files are stored locally. Well, if this is true then Windows has a stupid implementation of timestamps. Any intelligent operating system will store timestamps in a canonical format that does not jump around wildly when changing timezones or entering/exiting daylight savings. I don't use Windows so I don't know how it works: maybe it does the intelligent thing, too, and there's something else wrong here. You might consider asking on the make-w32@gnu.org mailing list to see if they have any advice there... this is a Windows-specific issue and they know much more about Windows than the folks reading this list.
