GNU Make fork_copy error in Win98

[Steve Rodenbaugh]

Hello,

I posted the following message on the cygwin message board with no response.
I e-mailed address@hidden and got a response from Paul D. Smith
[mailto:address@hidden that indicated that I needed to communicate
with cygwin. This is an ongoing problem so I would appreciate any help you
might be able to supply.

Thanks,

Steve

Subject: GNU Make fork_copy error in Win98


Hi,

I am using the following version of GNU Make under Win98.

        GNU Make version 3.79.1, by Richard Stallman and Roland McGrath.
        Built for i686-pc-cygwin
        Copyright (C) 1988, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 2000

        This is free software; see the source for copying conditions.
        There is NO warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A
        PARTICULAR PURPOSE.


The main project contains multiple subprojects. The main project has a
makefile that launches GNU Make for each of the subprojects. The subprojects
are making object files using a C compiler and an Assembler. One of the
subprojects has a
large number of source files (> 120). Periodically I get the following
errors when making this subproject. Executing the make again normally does
not result in an error. The problem has not been seen on Win2000 or XP.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Steve
