Re: rsync on win32: a) slow, b) crashes

[Lapo Luchini]

If you download gcc with cygwin, the compilation
procedure is exactly the same as under *nix. As for
the cygwin1.dll problems, I don't know how compatible
the different versions are, but I assume the API is
pretty fixed. I don't think you can link cygwin
statically.

In the past there are known some BIG problems about multiple DLLs in the system.. so it's better to always use setup.exe to install (maybe with a local dir containing just the needed packages, to avoid network install) and have a "real" cygwin installed.
distributing the file with the DLL is "not good".

Regarding inclusion, I think the
rsync/cygwin-maintainer is on this list, so we can
hope! :-)

I am indeed, unfortunately I have too much business & university work to examine it carefully at this time, I hope to have some in the christmas vacations, though.
Please be patient ^_^
