make distclean too slow

[yxmlines]

ps Only the dynamic libraries at compile this information appears
Using msys + mingw + gcc-4.5.2
This information and make / make install / make distclean is abnormal slow to appear in the update to g8c0cbb0

[Hendrik]

I'm seeing the same issue with a mingw compilation here.

[Carl Eugen Hoyos]

Could you explain what the issue is and how to reproduce?

[Hendrik]

The issue is that builds take ages to complete on mingw now (even a "make distclean" takes minutes now), and loads of the errors shown by the OP are spammed during build.

I tracked it down to following commit: 5e27ec28f0aa263fc6af60ea88677e2c40631920
Reverting this one fixes it for me.

Reproducing is easy, just build ffmpeg with mingw.

[Carl Eugen Hoyos]

I do not see the messages with current git head (and ./configure && make), but every call to make has a large initial delay (especially noticeable with make distclean).

[yxmlines]

Thank you
Able to generate dynamic libraries
make / make distclean / make install is not a serious delay

[Michael Niedermayer]

I interpret "Thank you Able to generate dynamic libraries make / make distclean / make install is not a serious delay"

as that this bug has been fixes and is not reproduceable anymore
if not, please reopen!
