    Eclipse problem

    Hi,

    Today i have installed eclipse v3.3.2 + CDT on my 32-bit windows XP machine. While testing a simple "hello world" i got the the following error


    **** Build of configuration Debug for project helloworld ****

    make all
    make: Warning: File `subdir.mk' has modification time 0.53 s in the future
    make: Nothing to be done for `all'.
    make: warning: Clock skew detected. Your build may be incomplete.
    my makefile is as below

    Code:
    all: hello
    
    hello: hello.o
    	gcc -o hello hello.o
    
    hello.o: hello.c
    	gcc -c hello.c
    can anybody tell me how to solve the problem?

    thanks.

    the problem is with the timestamp on the build files. You can `touch` all of the files to fix this.

    can you please explain more? I can not understand what 'touch' means.

    edit and save the files. If you're on a linux box, you can use a command called "touch" to recursively touch each file.

    Windows has touch too.

    I get maybe two dozen requests for help with some sort of programming or design problem every day. Most have more sense than to send me hundreds of lines of code. If they do, I ask them to find the smallest example that exhibits the problem and send me that. Mostly, they then find the error themselves. "Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.
