There are no mentions of 'time_t' in the public headers of this library. The logs shows that it's a false positive, as the automated tool simply wasn't able to build it: https://adrien.dcln.fr/misc/armhf-time_t/2024-02-06T16%3A48%3A00/logs/libcomps-dev/base/log.txt Closing as not applicable. -- Kind regards, Luca Boccassi
