I get the following error compiling with make (I have cygwin.dll)
*** Couldn't reserve space for cygwin's heap (0x150000) in child, cygheap, Win32 error 0
0 [main] make 4336 sync_with_child: child 2968(0x120) died before initialization with status code 0x1
308 [main] make 4336 sync_with_child: *** child state waiting for longjmp
How could it be solved?
Thanks
Most users complaining about this problem reported it goes away after a reboot. If you are using Windows 7, check the message from BerndP in this thread, it has some tips related to adjusting Virtual Memory settings on Windows.
This post brings an interesting discussion of random problems with Cygwin. The BLODA list presents a list of applications that are known to cause strange failures and problems in Cygwin.
EDIT:
Windows 8 has not been officially released, so don’t expect Cygwin to work on it.
