277569 - libical doesn't compile on WinXP using gcc - undefined reference to gmtime_r

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Calendar :: Internal Components, defect)

Description

[Matthew (lilmatt) Willis]

libical doesn't compile successfully on WinXP using gcc

The error I got was:
undefined reference to gmtime_r
../../dist/lib/libmozical.a(icaltime.o)(.text+0xq1bd): In function
icaltime_from_timet_with_zone

Commenting out this line was a workaround

nspr has gmtime_r. Maybe we should try to use that.

[Justin Wood (:Callek)]

someone on the newsgroup commented that this error appears with MSVC as well (I
have not tried to confirm)

[Michiel van Leeuwen (email: mvl+moz@)]

nspr's impl of gmtime_r only exists on windows, so that won't work.
