Hello, While making effort to port minitage [1] to windows, i had in mind to test cygwin2 (setup-1.7.exe as i understood) as it as improved support for some things like getaddrinfo and posix threads. Indeed the goal is to recompile a bunch of libraries from sources, then make them link together, and here come problems. With cygwin2, i have a non identified GREAT loss of performances during compilation (minimerge is yet another interface to ./configure && make && make install for this package (python-2.6)).
./configure seems way much too long, make && make install seems or a bit slower. It would be good to try to explain that : Cygwin ---------- (minitage)$ time minimerge -NRv python-2.6 # compile/install only python 2.6 ... minimerge & compilation output ... real 8m50.782s user 3m11.068s sys 3m49.647s (minitage) Cygwin2 ---------- (minitage2)$ time minimerge -NRv python-2.6 # compile/install only python 2.6 ... minimerge & compilation output ... real 23m26.250s user 3m50.358s sys 6m41.791s (minitage2)$ I have read about path issues and network share. They don't seem to relate to this case. The twice environement are similar in installation, i made attention not to have any cygwin isntallation in global $PATH. Basicly, here are my notes about what's installed more than the default: * archive tar zip unzip zlibdevel * base sed * devel mercurial minires minires-devel automake autoconf libtool 2.2.7a make patch pkg-config zlib subversion-1.6 gcc4 git * editors vim7 * lib libbz2 libzlib libiconv libiconv2 * net nfs-server (pour rpcgen / db-4.7) openssh openssl rsync * python python-2.5.2 * shell bash * utils bzip-2 patchutils * x11 xrandr/devel glu/devel gl/devel x11/devel [1] - http://www.minitage.org -- Cordialement, KiOrKY GPG Key FingerPrint: 0x1A1194B7681112AF
