Hi-
I use redhat cygwin for package management and gcc to ./configure make make install. I switched to linux guest in virtualbox guest the other day to do similar tasks and I couldn't believe how fast it was. I thought I just had a slow computer but apparently the AV goes into fits with cygwin and gcc. To put a pseudo benchmark for you to rebase in cygwin takes 15 minutes even to install one package!
I thought I could temporarily deactivate webroot and then activate windows defender but I have to uninstall webroot just to activate windows defender again.
Please advise if you know of any tricks or have any useful suggestions.
Thx. - J. McNamara
cygwin and gcc really slow with webroot av
