[Solved] Cross-compilation Issue

[mcpolandc]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to get up and running with Qt and have installed Creator 5.1.1 for Windows 8.1 and Ubuntu 12.04 so far (want to install on mac os x as well). I have decided to run Ubuntu as a VM on the Windows machine that I am developing on. So I have written a small HelloWorld app on Windows and tried to open the same project on Linux and build it. I am getting an error saying that the project has a modification time in the future and it refuses to build.

Is this a common problem or is there something else I should be doing?

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Check the clock of your virtual machine and ensure it's the same as your main machine

Hey,

Thanks for replying. With great difficulty, I have manually synchronisd the clock on the host machine and the VM (kind of a ridiculous thing to have to do :P). It didn't make any difference at all. I restarted the host machine and VM a few times to see if it made a difference. The actual number that it is reporting is 2e+04s.

I said before that it was an error but it is actually a warning but qmake gets in a loop and reports it over and over again which stops it from building.

Are you sure both clock follow the same time zone ?

Anyway you can try to "touch" all files once, then they should be in a better "time state"

Hmmmm... touching them all seemed to work :) Now to deal with my other 50 million warnings. I will probably be a regular poster here :P

Thanks for your help!
