rsync on win32: a) slow, b) crashes
Hi, About the patches for speeding up rsync with windows. Could you send me the patched binaries? Thanks, Adam -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
Re: rsync on win32: a) slow, b) crashes
I've only ever used used gcc on *nix, what's involved in compiling them myself on Win32? Unless rsync can be compiled statically, I'll have to somehow keep it compatible with the installed Cygwin DLLs (??). Any idea if this patch is planned for inclusion in the official Cygwin binaries? 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. Regarding inclusion, I think the rsync/cygwin-maintainer is on this list, so we can hope! :-) /Greger _ Gratis e-mail resten av livet på www.yahoo.se/mail Busenkelt! -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

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.
