[Developers] Timestamp problem on Plugin compile

[Caldwell, Don]

Bert,

Thanks for getting back to me.

Even though the gnu make reports that libHello.so is "successfully
remade", it never happened. Only libHello.a exists in .../lux64/G
directory.
Deleting libHello.a brings the same result(definition of insanity) ,
that is,  no libHello.so . Need to try something else.

Weird is the correct term. 

Don

The weird thing is that gnu make reports it has actually re-made 
libHello.so:

Therefore I think your libHello.so has a bad timestamp. I have no idea 
why, but all the signs point to that. If you remove it, then do make 
again things should be OK.


I would not try anything with any strange gnu make targets until you're 
absolutely sure that your system is unbelievably weird.
