36 seconds to do /usr/bin/ls, mkdir and other commands

I install the latest cygwin on Windows XP Pro x32 on a VM under the latest version of VirtualBox. When I do anything it takes a long time. If I do an $ls in a directory it takes 36 seconds or more. Many other commands take just as long like $mkdir etc. What is causing this, and how do I fix i

Very interesting. Thank you for that information. My goal here is to run ntbackup via ssh. Based on this information I copied ntbackup.exe to another folder that does not get redirected and I can invoke it from there via ssh. It seems to run fine, so I question why Microsoft chose to ma

Re: How do I run a program compiled in cygwin from a program that is running in a Windows CMD shell?

As stated, the mno-cygwin flag was depreciated in gcc 4. This was what you used to link to the windows c runtime instead of the cygwin dll. In other words, it let you compile with cygwin gcc and then run on a windows box that didn't have cygwin installed (very useful). Since some of your issue

Writing to Windows Share issues fixed in cygwin1-20110829.dll.bz2

I stumbled across the following snapshot, cygwin1-20110829.dll.bz2, and now I can create files in a Windows Share that I haven't been able to properly access from Cygwin in months! Corinna, whatever changes you made to this snapshot have fixed the problem for me, at least. Hope they can be includ

I am a bit confused as to the role of perl here. I have compiled under cygwin g++ for a long time now and don't run into problems. Are you using the -mno-cygwin flag in your compile rules? I have two processes, where one is a child of the the processed that gets launched, but both are in c. May

Thanks Marco and Andrew I have actually been using Perl's back ticks and system (and not so much exec) for years, using Activestate perl, but this is the first time I tried to use them to run a program compiled using gcc within cygwin when I am running a perl program from Windows CMD console.
