I just did a clean install of Windows vista and installed cygwin with PRC-Tools. I have noticed that compiling a Palm OS program takes a very long time compared to Windows XP. If I compile a native Windows program then it is not slow. Has anyone else had this problem and been able to fix it?
um.. prc-tools and cygwin binaries are native? the programs are written against the cygwin.h API set, and there is a cygwin.dll which makes the whole program a valid win32 console application. there is no "emulation" happening, other than the abstraction between unix calls and the underlying win32 calls (which, all native programs do anyhow) now, vista may not be compatible with the cygwin threading implementation, which i suggest would cause slow downs. you are better running vmware with a vmware image under your vista installation running windows xp. -- // Aaron Ardiri -- For information on using the ACCESS Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.access-company.com/developers/forums/
