G'day all,

I'm using the latest CVS compiler and RTL.
In rtl/unix/timezone.inc we are only parsing a timezone file, and not looking at the TZ environment variable if it exists.

I'm using some pascal programs in an embeded system with busybox and uClibc, neither of which understand timezone files and can only cope with the TZ variable.

If there is no other way, I will add TZ handling to the RTL. Do we have a way of parsing the TZ variable?

PS. I worked around my make cycle problem by doing cd compiler && make cycle && cd ../rtl && make clean && make OPT=-CX

Which allows the compiler to cycle and then builds me a smart-linkable rtl.

Should I need to do this?
I used to just have -CX in my fpc.cfg file and it would build fine.

You should be able to use

make cycle OPT="-CX"

I don't know about the timezone problem.

I can now, after building a new compiler without smartlinking. The compiler I was using, dated 2002/7/24 would not cycle a new compiler with smartlinking enabled. After cycling with smartlinking turned off and updating my compiler from that, it will now make cycle.

Obviously a bug in the older compiler.
