From: Bill Galbraith To: djgpp AT sun DOT soe DOT clarkson DOT edu Date: Fri, 29 Sep 1995 14:24:20 EDT Subject: Time zone for Makefile FYI: I recently had a problem with a Makefile running under MSDOS 6.22. It compiles FORTRAN code using the F2C compiler, and stuffs the object into a library. The Makefile compares the time of the object in the library against the time of the FORTRAN source file, and recompiles if the source file has been recently touched. Make was constantly recompiling files that I have been working on in the last hour. I traced this problem down to the fact that the time Make was using was 1 hour behind my computer time. I could find very little info on this subject, but the solution (at least for us folk living on the east coast of the U.S) is to set the environment variable: SET TZ=EST5 There was nothing in the documentation for DJGPP concerning this. This may be of some assistance to some of you.
