time returns -1
This may not sound like a debian problem (and maybe it isn't) but I think
it could be.
I am working on a port of a dos program to track satellites. The only
routine I needed to modify used DOS system calls to get the Julian date.
I chose to use the time function because it was the easiest to convert to
a julian date.
I started this project when the only Linux I had was Debian R2 (yea, I
know it's ancient, but it was the only one I could find on CD). The mods
I made to the routine worked fine in this setting.
On recompiling on my new R6 system, the compilation seems to go fine, but
when I run the program, using the area of code that I modified, I
discovered that the time function was returning -1 (error?).
Is anyone else using the time function? Has anyone else had this problem?
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Dale
