RE: Msys2 64: progress

Hi Simon, I’m not sure what’s going on there. I updated my curl to 7.49.1 and I am experiencing the same silent death (--version doesn’t even work for me then which is weird). In any case, downgrading back to 7.48.0 worked for me. I don’t know how to do that with pacman, so instead maybe try:

RE: Msys2 64: progress

Actually I had the command right; copy/paste somehow removed the underscore. And curl –version does report curl --version curl 7.49.1 (x86_64-pc-msys) so it should not be necessary anyway. But ./configure still fails with checking for path to top of build tree... C:/code/HEAD configure: Checking

RE: Msys2 64: progress

Hi Simon, You’re missing an underscore in the command (there’s one between x86 and 64), It’s pacman -R mingw-w64-x86_64-curl This is only needed if curl --version reports anything other than x86_64-pc-msys. After that you need to install the normal msys curl with pacman -S curl You don’t

Msys2 64: progress

Friends I want to thank everyone who has responded - very helpful! Thanks to your help I am making progress *I re-installed msys64 from scratch, this time following the instructions on the GHC wiki rather than the msys2 page. By doing update-core; then pacman -Su; then pacman -Su

RE: msys2 64 bit: help help!

Hi Simon, I think the two issues might be related. From what I can tell magit invokes some msys utilies at startup such as cygdrive to normalize paths https://github.com/magit/magit/issues/2284 . The msys AD issue would affect all of these tools and so each of them would be quite slow to run.

RE: msys2 64 bit: help help!

Have you tried specifying an absolute path for the git executable that magit uses, to avoid the overhead of traversing the environment for each call? (M-x customize-var RET magit-git-executable RET) I’m pretty sure it’s not that, because in the task manager I see stuck ‘git.exe’ consuming zero

Hi Simon, To test if it’s AD try (in case my other email didn’t get through): ➢ you may be hitting a long standing issue some computers have in which the domain controller is being hit for every invocation of commands, causing a slowdown https://github.com/Alexpux/MSYS2-packages/issues/138 ,

David, Tamar I have another issue. I'm using 'magit' (in emacs) to drive git. But it gives half-minute delays to do anything at all. There are lots of people complaining about it (googlable) but no solutions I can see. Do I have to give up magit? It used to be fine in earlier versions.
