I am a complete Linux console geek, nad would like my windows system
to work as closely to Linux as possible so in the past, I installed
cygwin and added it to my windows path.
Then I could simly run:
C:\ls
And get a directory listing.
If I install msys2 and the mingw64 toolchain, I have discovered if I
include the q:\msys2\bin and q:\msys2\mingw64\bin directories in my
path, if I try to run:
C:\ls
While it works it takes 30+ seconds to run whereas the cygwin
equivalent is virtually instaneous. Running gdb also takes a
significantly longer time to startup.
Why would you fill your root directory C:/ with executables?
I use win7x64. I've got MSYS2 and GnuWin32 both installed. I also have
my custom programs in C:/Bin.
I also set my PATH on windows:
PATH= ... ;C:\Bin;D:\msys64\usr\bin;D:\GnuWin32\bin
I can do "ls" from cmd.exe, tcc.exe, mintty or conemu. It is almost
instantaneous for me.
Maybe putting stuff into C:\ gets windows confused?
