[SOLVED] PEAK PCAN-Dongle - macro "__DATE__"

Hi all.

I'm trying to install the PEAKs PCAN-USB drivers.
I'm getting both time and data macro errors:

macro "__DATE__" might prevent reproducible builds
macro "__TIME__" might prevent reproducible builds

The compiler output is:

***
*** Host machine kernel version=3.15.1-1-ARCH
*** Driver kernel version=3.15.1-1-ARCH
*** Path to kernel sources=/lib/modules/3.15.1-1-ARCH/build

             ^
cc1: some warnings being treated as errors

There were none -Werror flags in any of the make files, and i've removed -Wall from the make files, just to see, both the sammer error occurs.

I have no idea why this is :S

I found a post with similar error messages (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=180922), but seemd not to be usefull for this problem

Re: [SOLVED] PEAK PCAN-Dongle - macro "__DATE__"

Hi,

Today I hit the exactly same problem when I tried to use PCAN-USB on arch. I could work around this by adding "-Wno-error=date-time" to _CFLAGS in the Makefile. Alternatively you can use the RT_CFLAGS environment variable which is used by the Makefile. However, this work around works only for PCAN-USB driver since only this Makefile uses the RT_CFLAGS I guess...

make RT_CFLAGS="-Wno-error=date-time"
