tzone.pl : A perl script that test the timezone information between the system time and ICU time.
Files:
tzdate.c Source file that compares the ICU time and system time.
Makefile.in Use to create the Makefile
tzone.pl Perl script that calls the tzdate program with the correct TZ and arguments.
To Build on Unixes
1. Build ICU. tzdate is not built automatically.
Specify an ICU install directory when running configure,
using the --prefix option. The steps to build ICU will look something
like this:
cd <icu directory>/source
runConfigureICU <platform-name> --prefix <icu install directory> [other options]
gmake all
2. Install ICU,
gmake install
To Run on Unixes
cd <icu directory>/source/test/compat
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<icu install directory>/lib:.:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
gmake
tzone.pl
-This will use the current date.
-To use a different date, you must specify by:
tzone.pl year month day
-All three arguments are integer values
Note: The name of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable is different on some systems.
If in doubt, run the sample using "gmake check", and note the name of
the variable that is used there. LD_LIBRARY_PATH is the correct name
for Linux and Solaris.
