Windows 10: Win 10 cygwin make failure

I get the following error while compiling with make. This issue observed when I upgraded Desktop from Win 7 to Win 10.


[main] t:\gen\gnu\99-11-01\cygwin-b20\H-i586-cygwin32\bin\make.exe 1068 0 sync_with_child: child 10560x1EC died before initialization with status code 0x1

[main] make 1068 0 sync_with_child: *** child state waiting for longjmp

make[3]: vfork: No more processes

make[2]: *** [siu] Error 2

make[1]: *** [th10] Error 2

Recursive build failed.

make: *** [th10] Error 1



How could it be solved? The same compilation is working properly on Win 7 but currently not on Win 10.


Thanks!

How to upgrade cygwin/ SendFiles1.exe file to 64-bit program

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are unable to launch Cygwin in 64-bit computers. We would like to know what happens when you try to launch Cygwin.



I would suggest you to refer the section 2.15 What is setup fails?
from the article
Cygwin FAQ.



You can also refer the article
Installing and Updating Cygwin Packages.



If the issue persists, I suggest you to contact the Cygwin support. Please refer
Reporting Problems.

Cygwin installation stops in make step

POSIX accounts, permission, and security

in short:

close all Cygwin Terminal and restart it.

Disclaimer: building gcc is for expert; I suggest you to start with a much simpler project.

Update from the comments

1. Once the above steps are completed, move the build-gcc-6.1.0 and
   gcc-6.1.0 folders to /home/prasanna folder
   
2. Run the make -j4 and now (from /home/prasanna folder)it should run without any problems
   

 

Recommend hardware changes for upgrading from Win-7 to Win-10

Bree
I followed your suggestions (2nd Aug 19) for installing Win-10. Made the bootable flash drive successfully through the media creation tool. But when I attempted to upgrade and activate to Win-10 (64 bit) from within Win-7 (Pro-32 bit), I got the following error message:

Error # OxC1900101-Ox20017. " The installation failed in the SAFE_OS phase with an error during BOOT operation"

I read the diagnostics under this error number and carried out the proposed fixes, i.e. update Win-7, uninstall Malwarebyte antivirus, disconnect all external hardware, e.g. printer, scanner, external hard drives. I then tried to repeat the steps to do the upgrade through the Win-10 bootable flash drive as before. Got the same error message.
Appreciate any further comments and suggestions as to (a) what does a failure in the SAFE_OS during boot operation mean, (b) what can I do to solve it. Is this anything to do with the hardware in my computer? I listed these in my first posting above.
Thanks for any help
