Hi guys,

I have literally just re-installed Xpresso after a 6 month abscence and I am trying to use the LPC1343 example projects to check my setup but I get the following arror on building the Blinky project:

C:\nxp\LPCXpresso_4.0.6_152\lpcxpresso\msys\bin\sh.exe: *** Couldn't reserve space for cygwin's heap (0x71110000 <0x2380000>) in child, Win32 error 0
make: *** [src/cr_startup_lpc13.o] Error 1

Any ideas why I am getting this, especially from an example project which I would expect to just work!

Many thanks
de Boogle

Hi,

I did have a quick search on the Forum for this issue but couldnt see anything.

Thanks for the fast response, I would give you a reputation point but it says I have given you too many already. LOL. You must work to hard if I have given you so many!

Thanks again

You obviously didn't search very hard :p

Entering "Couldn't reserve space for cygwin's heap" into the google search suggested in the sticky "*** Searching the LPCXpresso Forum and Code Red's FAQ site ***" post at the top of the forum gives multiple hits which take you straight to the answer :)
