Hi,
I will grant you that putting too much stuff in c:\ might confuse the
system, but I actually didn’t mean to imply that I had lots of
executables there J
I put msys2 into q:\msys64 (q: is an external harddrive). So my path
looks like:
… ;q:\msys64;q:\msys64\usr\bin;q:\msys64\mingw64\bin
I rebooted my system, and tried opening a command prompt, and then:
C:\ ls
The command took over a minute to run.
I then tried:
C:\> q:\msys64\usr\bin\ls
The response was almost immediate.
The same kind of thing happens if I type:
C:\ mingw64 (to open a mingw64 shell) took about a minute to open.
But if I give the full path to mingw64.exe it is much faster.
I had experienced this before. The problem was caused by having MSYS2
installation directory in the Windows PATH. Removing that directory
fixed the problem for me, although the reason was largely unknown.
