I am using Windows 10 with VS 2015 and all node-gyp dependencies installed. Everything else is working except the time package

There is no tzname that I can find here. Where is this supposed to come from?

[jessegranger]

Same problem. Windows 10 64-bit, VS 2015. Same series of errors.

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/htb3tdkc.aspx

The tzname, timezone, and daylight globals used in src/time.cc are prefixed with an underscore in this build configuration.

Just changing these allowed it to build (with the latest node-gyp, 3.4.0 at this time).

I'm seeing the same thing. Can we get this fixed? I can submit a pull request.

I am getting the same error on window 10. any solution?

[gtorodelvalle]

Same here... :( It seems to be a fix for the issue since March, 2016 pending review and merging... :)

[gtorodelvalle]

I'd say it is already solved thanks to #88 and already merged in https://github.com/TooTallNate/node-time/releases/tag/0.12.0 :) Did you give it a try? Just to ask @TooTallNate to close this issue in case it is already solved ;)
