Hi
I'm trying build tor for QNX, and met this errors when run configures.
"You have an unsigned time_t; Tor does not support that. Please tell the
Tor developers about your interesting platform."
And QNX is using a unsigned 32-bit/64-bit number for time_t.
. The time_t data type is an unsigned 32-bit number, which extends this
range for many applications through 2106. The kernel itself uses unsigned
64-bit numbers to count the nanoseconds since January 1970, and so can
handle dates through 2554.
So I think we should reverse this ticket/merge.
