[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #36954] datenum / datevec convert date-time string incorrectly during hour lost to DST

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #31, bug #36954 (project octave):

I'm afraid it isn't what you and I hoped for, (This is on Win7 prof. 64bit)
AFAIK Windows doesn't keep its TZ setting in environments strings, it's rather
in the registry.
Using the OF-windows pkg that can be accessed invoking simple calls. But for
core Octave that doesn't help.

Maybe this can help?

BTW I read there that MSYS2 is better in somw wys as far as TZ goes - ISTR
that Tatsuro a while ago also suggested to switch to MSYS2 for mxe builds.
