Quoting Bill Hoffman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
So, if I run gmake (the patched cygwin version) and nmake

the same tree. (CMake can generate files for either.) nmake is
able to check the depend information
about twice as fast as gmake can. I suspect that the problem is in
the use of stat. Although windows/
cygwin provide stat, there are significantly faster versions of stat
available via direct windows system calls.
We had a similar problem in CMake, and use the following code in
windows to compare times stamps of
Cygwin's performance of stat shouldn't be a concern for this list.
Take it back to the cygwin users list please. Alternatives to stat
using the windows API though may be a different issue for the native
version. You won't be able to use those alternatives for Cygwin or MSYS.
OK, for the moment lets forget about cygwin make. The native build of
make should have the same issue,
as it is calling stat which is provided in the winapi, but is slow.
Can someone give me a pointer to where
I could put different calls into make just so I can try it and see if it
helps. Thanks.
