  Hi all.

I've been searching Bugzilla and the forums for an answer, but I can't 
seem to find one.

I'm trying to do an emerge -uDN world, and it needs to update liboil to 
0.3.7.

I've overlaid portage and put the gcc-altivec patch from Bug ID 109270 
on it. I'm still getting the following errors when compiling:

Is this another Metrowerks type error like the gcc-altivec patch?

Here's my emerge --info:

Hi,
  
  I've recently installed gentoo on a G4 TiBook and it's working fine.
  
  However, I have a couple of unresolved problems, one of which being,  the system doesn't remember the date. I had entered the correct date  when installing, but it always follow the system date instead (the date  that appears in Open Firmware when I boot it) and I have to reset the  correct date every time I boot (otherwise I get compilation errors  warning that I'm installing files that got modified in the future).
  
  The system date turned back to April 1976 when I zapped the PRAM and  NVRAM because it was impossible to boot Mac OS ; then I installed  Gentoo and ever since it goes back again and again to 1976 (time is not  stuck though ; time passing seems to be accurate, only, it is  translated back to April 1976).
  
  I tried to guess how to reset time and date in Open Firmware by typing  commands that seemed appropriate (I tried "date" "set-date",  "setdate"), but nothing worked :-(
  
  Does anyone know a fix to this -- either, how I could set correct time  and date in Open Firmware, or allow Linux to remember its own time and  date ?
  
  cheers,
  
  Y-Lan

Try "hwclock -systohc" after you've set your system time.  That should 
set the hardware clock for you.

The relevant option is in /etc/conf.d/clock :
---
# If you want to set the Hardware Clock to the current System Time
# during shutdown, then say "yes" here.

CLOCK_SYSTOHC="yes"
---

followed by
% rc-update add clock boot
to make sure it runs at boot and halt.

PS: my MacOS X won't boot anymore either, I wish I knew why.

Note that this can als indicate that the Mobo battery that keeps the time
synced when the power is off may be dead.

But try the hwclock stuff first.

  No no, today we are April 14th, 1976, and four days ago was April 10th, 1976, so time is actually kept  :-)
 
 Thanks everyone, I'll try tonight as soon as I have my computer in front of me.

Actually someone just told me that the clock always works even if the battery is dead, so it means nothing that time is passing :-(
 Hope it's not the case though.

I looked at my OLD Power Mac MT (mobo fabbed in 1997) and it HAS a dead
battery. It resets to Jan 1, 1970 every reboot. Basic point: I do not think
it will "keep time" if the batter is dead.

Anyway, glad you have it fixed!

Au revoir,

Ben Ricker

Having a dead battery, system clock resets to it's initial value only  
when I:
1. Turn off the power
2. Plug off power cord for a while, i.e. when I take the computer to  
a different location. 5 minutes is enough.

Simple restart is not enough. System clock is running like the  
circuit that lets to turn on machine "softly" - with power button on  
the keyboard.

If you use oldworld machine and need to boot the old Mac OS system  
before running BootX, you can expect the machine to "forget" where is  
the startup volume too.

With these information you should quickly find if battery needs to be  
replaced.

No, the battery is not dead - I've keeped the computer unplugged for hours a number of times, and time was still passing, moving from April 10th to April 11th and so on.
 What happened was I never gave a chance to the hardware clock to get back to 2006, after I resetted it to 1976 by zapping the PRAM and NVRAM.
 But then after people from this mailing list kindly told me how to set hardware clock to system time, the clock was back to 2006 at last.
 
 So this problem is solved for good :-)
 
 Cheers,
 
 Y-Lan
