Subject: Time zone problem in cygwin
Date: Thu, 05 Feb 2009 09:47:00 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <498AFBE4.2070906@cornell.edu> (raw)
I just built emacs 23 under cygwin from the cvs source of two days ago,
and the time zone is off by 4 hours; display-time shows 1:30pm when the
local time is 9:30am. This happens under both cygwin 1.5 and the (still
experimental) cygwin 1.7. The problem does not occur in my build of
emacs 22.3. I see in the archives that this problem was reported before:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2008-11/msg00532.html
Eli Zaretskii replied and asked for the value of (format-time-string
"%Y-%m-%d %T %z"). The OP never responded, but the answer for me is
the following: emacs 23 incorrectly reports 2009-02-05 13:35:36 -0100,
whereas emacs 22.3 correctly gives 2009-02-05 09:36:13 -0500 a few
seconds later. One further detail: emacs 23 gives the right time if I
set TZ=America/New_York prior to starting emacs; but my understanding is
that it's not supposed to be necessary to set TZ.
