You don't know NFS? Network File System - I meant that you are probably compiling the sources in a directory which is mounted over the network and the files physically reside on another computer's hard disk. Or should I say - another computer whose clock is not synced with the one of the computer doing the compiling. At least I was getting this message too often when I was compiling in an environment similar to the one I just described. I then realized it was time to start using ntp and sync those clocks.I also saw "***Warning : clock skew detected , your build might be incomplete" What does that mean ?
You're probably compiling on a NFS volume. Means that probably not everything that had to be compiled was compiled.
What do u mean by a NFS volume ? Ok Im probably the dumbest person on the list ;)
We should wait for a guru's input on your problem then. I am good at solving simple problems only :).I have compiled ALSA , I had successfully compiled ALSA rc2 and rc3 releases , But never from CVS, infact I used it for the first time when Takashi refrered to it ...
I am speculating here, but I think the error is triggered when make tries to build a target (a file) and the target's timestamp becomes different than the current system time. The only situation that I have witnessed this happening is when the files are on a NFS. For example if PC1 has mounted a directory from PC2 over NFS, if you "touch" a file in the NFS directory from PC1, the "open" system call would be executed at time "current-time-of-pc-1", but the timestamp of the file will become "current-time-of-pc-2". This confuses make.I have done some (small) projects on Linux (a text editor ... ) and never had such warnings ( I did use make ) so I was confused and asked all (you) ALSA gurus on the list..
