scdub opened a new issue, #1577:
URL: https://github.com/apache/orc/issues/1577

   When using ORC on a platform that doesn't have `/usr/share/zoneinfo` defined 
nor the `TZDIR` environment variable set, the library will crash. Specifically 
on Windows, the DEFAULT_TZDIR location is an invalid path, but even on Linux 
the file is not present on minimal images like the default alpine container. It 
looks like the TZDATA is downloaded during the build and is referenced during 
the C++ tests of ORC, but this change won't affect the runtime DLLs. Perhaps a 
relative location or option to configure a TZDATA location would make sense? In 
my case working with `conda`, I patched the routine to locate the tzdata that 
is included within the conda environment, but that wouldn't be applicable to 
all use cases.
