Getting incorrect time from compiler

When I run this:

Code: Select all

Date$ = FormatDate("%dd.%mm.%yy %hh:%ii:%ss", #PB_Compiler_Date)
Debug Date$
For some reason it returns:
[Debugger] 11.04.05 10:33:29
when time actually is 12:33:29. It works in Windows, and I'm not sure if this is a bug in PB, in the Linux distro I'm using (Ubuntu) or if there is some setting in Linux I need to do. The time which is displayed in Gnome is correct.

Does that mean we have to code in the time difference? Shouldn't be nessecary should it?

I use "Date()" instead of "#PB_Compiler_Date" and I do not have trouble (since the last update). Would this work?

The #PB_Compiler_Date indicates the date on compilation of the program, the date function just shows the current date. That isn't the same thing.

Seems to be a timezone problem, maybe you live at GMT + 2
All Linux and WinNT/XP internal times are GMT based
So probably Fred missed something on Linux

Well, there is a one hour time difference between England and Norway and everything else I fill in on forums especially seems to give the correct time :)

Thanks Fred :)
