[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] libical: Create option to use builtin tzdata

[Yann E. MORIN]

Marc, All,

On 2016-08-09 10:02 -0400, Marc Khouri spake thusly:
> libical requires time zone data (either system or internal) in order
> to use time zone related functions. This commit adds an option to
> build libical with its internal time zone data. If no time zone data
> is present, segfaults occur in applications which use time zone functions.

As already discussed in other replies, we believe it is better to rely
on the existing TZ info that can be used system-wide.

A ver recent commit makes this available for all types of toolchains,
not just glibc or uClibc.

So, your change can now easily be changed to use:

    config BR2_PACKAGE_LIBICAL
        bool "libical"
        depends on exiting-blabla
        select BR2_TARGET_TZ_INFO

And of course you can now drop this change, although I would still keep
it as:

    LIBICAL_CONF_OPTS += -DUSE_BUILTIN_TZDATA=OFF

to be sure it does not get used.

Thanks!
