cygwin problem

well i've been out of the lopp[ for a little while.. have rl issuses to deal with. well i stil have my old src and yesterday i decided to start working on it again.. well i reinstalled cygwin and when i went to go compile all i get is...
$ make smaug
gcc -c -O -g3 -DSMAUG act_comm.c
make: *** [act_comm.o] Error 1

and a
cpp0.exe - application error
the instructions at "0x61005118" referenced memory at "0x0000b804"/ The memory could not be "read"
click ok to terminate the program.

there's also a stackdmp for cpp0.exe.. has anyone ever come across something like this?

thanks - typ

For the compiler itself to crash, maybe you have insufficient memory. Do you have a reasonably large amount on your PC? Say, 32 Mb or more? Cygwin is quite big, and running it with (say) 12 Mb or 16 Mb might be pushing it.

im currently runnin a 1.4ghz amd with 384m ram 120g hd winxp and litestep... i dont know why it would crash because of my system.. this is the computer i worked on it before.

I am useing the lastest version of Cygwin and a new source code but I cant compile.

When I try to compile i get this message
$ make
bash: make: command not found

Is there anyway to fix this?

its possible that the make and the rest of the programs need weren't downloaded when you installed it.. run the cygwin setup again and select the development group for install. that should install everything you'll need.
