Re: find command hangs for 20 sec before starting with cygwin1.dll is 1.5.12

2004-12-16 Thread Isaac Foraker
I am experiencing the same delay with findutils 4.2.10-5. If I downgrade to an older version of findutils, the delay goes away. On my system, `find' was taking 30-40 seconds to start. I found that after I removed a bad mapped network drive, the delay dropped to 6-7 seconds for `find' to start.

coreutils link

2004-12-22 Thread Isaac Foraker
Can anyone tell me what the purpose of the coreutils `link' program is? It seems to just be a less functional version of `ln', so I don't know why anyone would bother including it. It definately breaks my builds by supplanting MSVC's `link' program in my path. I'd like to just remove it from

Bug: link.exe

2004-12-22 Thread Isaac Foraker
The recent change of installing coreutils with `link.exe' has introduced a *new* problem with configurations using Microsoft Visual C++ with Cygwin's GNU `make'. Previously, one could specify "LD=link" in a Makefile, but now the corutils `link' will supplant Microsoft's linker, breaking builds

I just tried this, and things get worse. With 5.8.2-1, perl.exe won't run from make. I've reinstalled Cygwin from scratch to try to clean out anything that could be causing problems, but no luck. These are all the commands I ran to reproduce the problem with 5.8.2. #uname -r 1.5.11(0.116/4/2

Funny you should say that. My boss and I just discovered that as the culprit. There is a bug that only manifests in 1.5.11. Even though 'which perl' shows /usr/bin/perl, make was running /usr/local/bin/perl. The version of /usr/local/bin/perl somehow lost it's 'x' attribute, so it couldn't
