You are using an uninitialized variable. It's much the same if you
wrote:

int PleaseDearComputerWhatsTheTime;
printf("%d",PleaseDearComputerWhatsTheTime);

Please see the example in the libc reference for the gmtime() function.
Use localtime() instead of gmtime() to get your local time. Add a line

printf("%d",t.tm_year);

so that's what you wanted to do. 

But please get yourself a good C book and ask such general
non-DJGPP-related C questions in comp.lang.c better.
