Greetings
	I am using cygwin and cl.exe to build a project that links to some 3rd party 
dlls.  My issue is that libtool keeps createing static libs.  Can anyone tell 
me how to convince libtool to create import libs so that i can make my dll 
link to other windows applications.

	Basicly I am using libtool and autoconf because i am porting a lib to 
Windows, but I must use msvc because I am linking to Qt and it seems not to 
want to play nice with cygwin gcc.

	Thanks

strange delay in date?

[Marcos Lorenzo de Santiago]

when I do in my winbox:

C:\TEMP>time /T
17.35

I get the system time, but when I do it using date I get 2 hours less than
the true hour:

C:\TEMP>c:\cygwin\bin\date
Thu Apr 11 15:35:04  2002

Anyone can give me a clue?

Thx.

m4c.

date returns UTC, time returns your local time.

Upon re-reading my reply I noticed that it was too terse. date shows
UTC in your case because you did not set up your timezone
correctly. If you do, date will show your local time, date -u will
show UTC.

In my case, I set TZ to CST6CDT, which means time zone is CST, I'm 6 h
west of UTC, and my daylight savings time zone is CDT

Markus

Thanks a lot now I know what is the problem, but I don't know how to
resolve it. I know how to do it in linux, but not in cygwin (arrgh! :)

In linux you just had to link /etc/localtime to
/ush/share/zoneinfo/wherever_you_are and that's it, but in cygwin there's
no /usr/share/zoneinfo folder. I looked manpages but I found nothing.

Another question: how can I add inetd the inetd service to my winbox list
of services? and how can I get my crond running? 

If there's documentation that you know over the net just redirect me to
the page so I can stop bothering! ;)


rgrds,
m4c.

The date manpage tells you that date uses the environment variable
TZ. Set this variable in your /etc/profile or ~/.bashrc to the correct
value.

Well, let's see.  There's documentation at the Cygwin web site (user's guide,
api guide, FAQ, email list archives), there's documentation in /usr/doc and
/usr/doc/Cygwin, and there's documentation all over the web concerning GNU
packages and their setup/configuration.  Seems like that should be an 
adequate pointer to get you started.

These are all great places to review for any question before posting too.

Hope that helps,

OK! I answer myself: setting the TZ variable:

$ export TZ=CST-1CDT; date
Thu Apr 11 18:55:26  2002
$ date -u
Thu Apr 11 16:55:29  2002

How can I set this variable as the default? In /etc/profile?... let's
try... yes! it works although I don't get bash hour prompt to work:

17:01:07 ~$ date
Thu Apr 11 19:01:10  2002

there's still a delay of 2 hours between the two dates. Maybe there's any
other configuration for this...

And now I want this command (date) to work from cmd.exe too (not only from
bash.exe): I guessed that probably setting a variable TZ to the timezone
in cmd.exe would work and so it does!:

C:\>c:\cygwin\bin\date
Thu Apr 11 17:00:15  2002

C:\>set TZ=CST-1CDT

C:\>c:\cygwin\bin\date
Thu Apr 11 19:00:35  2002


That's it!

m4c.

Thanx. I just answered to myself just before reading your mail :)

Hi!

I've been doing some "extra" testing (sorry if I'm beating a dead horse :),
and it seems that building a set of timezone data files and linking
/etc/localtime to them is _not_ the answer :(

I went to http://www.twinsun.com/tz/tz-link.htm, I got both tz files
( wget 'ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tz*.tar.gz')
and after tweaking the Makefile (setting the timezone to Europe/Madrid and
setting cc = gcc and AWK = awk instead of their settings), I did
make zones and I got a bunch of output files ('file' tells me they are
timezone data files). So I mv the output to /usr/share/zoneinfo, I do a
ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Madrid /etc/localtime....
...
...
and date is still giving me the wrong output!!

So, is that change of any use, or should I stick with ""declare -x
TZ=ECT-1DST"" ? (that does work, but I was wondering if the timezone and
/etc/localtime are going to be of any use or should I just forget about
them??

Thanks a lot, and sorry if I'm just doing something stupid...

    Javier
