Has anyone noticed or reported Cygwin problems? The ordinarily well-behaved PIL install hangs on Cygwin. I put debug prints inside spawn.py and it appears that the os.waitpid(pid, 0) inside spawn_posix is failing to return when the gcc task completes.
Nothing on Google about this that I can find, and no response from either the PIL or Cygwin lists. This seems a pretty fundamental breakage to not get noticed. What have I done wrong? This is using Python 2.5.2 (same thing happens with 2.5.1) on Cygwin 1.5.24, using gcc 3.4.4-3. The task manager shows 100% CPU (with kernel usage hovering about 35%) and a python.exe process gobbling CPU like there's no tomorrow. If I CTRL/C the build I get an "interrupted" diagnostic but the python.exe (presumably the child) continues to gobble CPU until killed from the task manager. I haven't yet started debugging the child process, as I am hoping someone knows of a fix. regards Steve -- Steve Holden +1 571 484 6266 +1 800 494 3119 Holden Web LLC/Ltd http://www.holdenweb.com Skype: holdenweb http://del.icio.us/steve.holden --------------- Asciimercial ------------------ Get on the web: Blog, lens and tag the Internet Many services currently offer free registration ----------- Thank You for Reading ------------- _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
