Hello all,

I'm new to msys/mingw and I got some issues while trying to compile under
WinXP64.
I've an Ant script to compile native libraries and use them in a java
program.

I got the following message (ant output) :

     [echo] executing: ../../../configure     --prefix=/c/msys/local
     [exec] C:\msys\1.0\bin\sh.exe: *** fork: can't reserve memory for stack
0x4D0000 - 0x6D0000, Win32 error 0
     [exec]       0 [main] sh 3964 sync_with_child: child 4268(0x25C) died
before initialization with status code 0x1
     [exec]   54763 [main] sh 3964 sync_with_child: *** child state waiting
for longjmp
     [exec] ../../../configure: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable

My configuration :
- msysCORE-1.0.15-1
- mingw-w64-v1.0-20100604
- winXP pro x64 SP2

According the following page :
http://omgili.com/mailinglist/cygwin/cygwin/com/4A378E841080605gmxnet.html
I tried to run rebaseall and peflagsall in dash, but I had a similar issue :

/bin/rebaseall
C:\msys\1.0\bin\dash.exe: *** fork: can't reserve memory for stack 0x420000
- 0x620000, Win32 error 0

/bin/peflagsall
C:\msys\1.0\bin\dash.exe: *** fork: can't reserve memory for stack 0x420000
- 0x620000, Win32 error 0


I also try to run msys using cmd-32 bits (according a workaround to a
similar issue :
http://wiki.mozilla-x86-64.com/MSYS_and_Cygwin_on_x64_%28AMD64%29)
but it didn't solve my problem: I still have exactly the same message.

Any help would be very appreciated.

Ben.
