However after building on HP-UX (details below) I ran into a problem with the definition of FILENAME_MAX. As HP-UX still supports some of its older filesystems the longest guaranteed FILENAME is 14 characters. This gives a FILENAME_MAX value that is too short to access most of the timezone location files. OS: HP-UX 11 cpp.ansi: HP92453-01 B.11.11.06 HP C Preprocessor (ANSI) ccom: HP92453-01 B.11.11.04 HP C Compiler /usr/ccs/bin/ld: 92453-07 linker linker ld B.11.30 011005 Patching tz, to optionally build with longer filename support can be done in any number of ways. One such change to support a new Makefile option "TZ_FILENAME_MAX" is described in the following patch/diff output: Diff'ed changes against: tzcode2005h.tar diff src_orig/Makefile src_patch/Makefile 113a114,116 > # -DTZ_FILENAME_MAX=1024 if you want to specify the maximum supported filename > # length; default from compiler's FILENAME_MAX.
