Post by Huyen Tue DaoI'm getting messages that say certain directories are so many seconds in
the future. What exactly is causing that and does it really affect
anything in terms of compiling and running bochs correctly?
I think this is the reason why that happens: linuxlab is really an alias
for 5 different hosts, each with its own idea of time. I logged on into
all of them and type date, all within around 20 seconds, and here's what
I got:
[***@mincing cs412003]$ date
Fri May 6 10:44:28 EDT 2005
[***@bilious cs412003]$ date
Fri May 6 10:44:18 EDT 2005
[***@nauseous cs412003]$ date
Fri May 6 10:40:45 EDT 2005
[***@squeamish cs412003]$ date
Fri May 6 10:40:23 EDT 2005
so if you packed it on 'mincing' and tried to unpack it on 'squeamish'
you'll get timestamps in the future. If you unpack (untar), make clean,
make, run you should get the same results as before packing because of
the 'make clean' there that rebuilds everything regardless of the
timestamp.
Bottom line: igonre the warnings, you're fine.
