Re: [Dev-C++] What is the meaning of 'Clock skew detected'?

[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

It usually occurs when you are storing your source files on a remote disk
volume.

The development environment - make - is using the local PC clock to decide
what to do. However, for a number of file-sharing protocols, the
last-change date on the files are set by the computer actually owning the
files, i.e. exporting the file system.

The make program emits the clock skew message if it compiles a file and
notices that the emitted output file got a time stamp "older" than the
source file.

The correct solution is of course to use ntp or similar to keep the clocks
synchronized between file servers and workstation machines.
