make: warning: Clock skew detected

Posted on Edited on In Views: Word count in article: 48 Reading time ≈ 1 mins.

Sometimes make will output warning like this:

1
make: warning:  Clock skew detected.  Your build may be incomplete.

It was caused by file time-stamps are ahead of clients’ clock.

It can be fixed by update time-stamps:

1
find . -exec touch {} \;

Then make clean and make again
