Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Note-from-DJ: This may be spam I'm trying to build gcc3.0.4 for ppc on Cygwin, but the configure script is taking *forever*! It's about 100 times slower than on Linux. I don't think it'll finish overnight. It's been on "checking for getrusage..." for the last 20 minutes. The CPU is 95% idle. I checked the FAQ, and no, I don't have a \\ in my path. Here's the path: /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/cygdrive/d/Perl/bin/:/cygdrive/c/WINNT/system32:/cygdrive/c/WINNT:/cygdrive/c/WINNT/system32/WBEM:/usr/bin Nothing funny there (except perhaps /usr/bin being in the path twice), and having ActivePerl installed. The OS is Windows 2000. I just installed a fresh copy of Cygwin from cygwin.com. I notice another fellow had a similar problem just a couple days ago -- is this contagious? I tried turning off my virus software, no change. I'd turn off the VNC server, but then I couldn't see what was going on :-) I tried running again, and watching closely for what was slow. Seems like every line of configure's output takes about 1 second to appear. Haven't seen it slow down to zero again yet, but Has anyone figured out what can cause cygwin to run soooo sloooowly? - Dan -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
