Re: Strange problem when compiling sscanRecord.c on Windows

Hi Kevin,

What file system are you building on, windows or Linux? I am using a Linux file system exported with SMB. There are some syncing issues with recent Windows releases, which we are still debugging. But in general the speed of building seems not much changed from the past except for sscan. But that is 100% CPU bound so I don’t think it is related to the file system.
