Cannot use make_zoned

[nenesekai]

I wrote this code according to the examples in documentation but I didn't work

I tried configure the library using vcpkg and the fetchcontent in cmake, but both come out with the same result.

My environment: Operating system: Windows 11 Pro for workstation Compiler: Visual Studio Community 2019 Release - AMD64 CPU: AMD Ryzen 5900HS Editor / IDE: Tried both on VS2019 and VSCode

This is the code

#include <iostream>
#include <date/tz.h>

using namespace std;
using namespace std::chrono_literals;
using namespace date;

int main()
{

    auto zt = make_zoned("Asia/Shanghai", local_days{apr/30/2004} + 8h);

    return 0;

}

This is the build message

In case you'll need it, this is the cmakelists.txt

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.0)

project(DateTest VERSION 1.0)

include(FetchContent)

FetchContent_Declare(date_src
	GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/HowardHinnant/date.git
	GIT_TAG        v3.0.1
)
FetchContent_MakeAvailable(date_src)

add_executable(DateTest main.cpp)

target_link_libraries(DateTest PRIVATE date::date)

I tried your example using a Debian system and faced the same problems. You might want to change the target date::date to date::date-tz.

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.14)

project(DateTest VERSION 1.0
LANGUAGES CXX)

set(USE_SYSTEM_TZ_DB ON CACHE INTERNAL "")
set(BUILD_TZ_LIB ON CACHE INTERNAL "")

include(FetchContent)

FetchContent_Declare(date_src
	GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/HowardHinnant/date.git
	GIT_TAG        v3.0.1
)
FetchContent_MakeAvailable(date_src)

add_executable(DateTest main.cpp)

target_link_libraries(DateTest PRIVATE date::date-tz
)

I also set the options to avoid curl dependency and build the library.

Hope this helps to get into the right direction.
