Hello folks,

I am trying to use cmake on Linux. I am on a Debian system, equipped with
the cmake 1.8.2.1-1 package which really gives me cmake with version 1.9.0
according to 'cmake --version'. I am trying to build in an area that is
shared via samba with correct persmissions set for my user/group.

I am experiencing a strange situation when running 'make' after executing
'cmake'. It seems that 'make' enters an endless loop telling me that

Warning: File `/mnt/windows-CCase/ComponentDir/CMakeLists.txt' has
modification time 1.4e+04 s in the future
Building CMakeCache.txt because out-of-date:
/mnt/windows-CCase/ComponentDir/build/cmake.check_cache...
-- Check for working C compiler: gcc -- works
-- Check for working CXX compiler: c++ -- works
-- Configuring done
-- Generating done


Running 'make -d' I found that it tries to remake cmake.check_cache because
it believes that the CMakeLists.txt (that is reported as having
modification time in the future) is newer than cmake.check_cache and thus
cmake.check_cache must be rebuilt.

For the record I did try to do a 'make cache_rebuild' first (before running
'make') but that did not sort the problem. Also I have yet to try the
latest CVS version (we are behind a very restricted firewall and CVS
downloading is a pain).

I hope that someone may have witnessed this error. If so please let me and
others know of any possible solutions.

Kind regards,
