Build Failed Error

[splunk]

Hello,

I recently installed the plugins and tools needed to write C++ code. First I tried the Cygwin tools first without success. I deleted those files, and then installed the MinGW tools. When I try to Build the test project I get the following error:

AllocationBase 0x0, BaseAddress 0x715B0000, RegionSize 0x150000, State 0x10000
C:\msys\1.0\bin\make.exe: *** Couldn't reserve space for cygwin's heap, Win32 error 487
BUILD FAILED (exit value 1, total time: 93ms)

There are no options that I can find in NetBeans for Cygwin. Everything is set for MinGW.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what I need to do?

Thank you.

Other person reports that installing update for Windows helped:

Hi users I have got a solution.This problem is caused by the antivirus software you are using.
To verify it disable your antivirus for temporary and run the compiler.
To get rid of this memory problem add a exclusion entry for "C:\MinGW\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin\sh.exe" and "C:\MinGW\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin\make.exe" or add this two programs sh.exe and make.exe to trust list in your Antivirus software.

Hope this works....

Had this problem and found this thread. Updated windows and problem went away.

I had the same problem and managed to solved it only by replacing the msys-1.0.dll located in "C:\msys\1.0\bin".

Just download and replace it with the file found here: http://support.code-red-tech.com/CodeRedWiki/VirtualAllocPointerNull

I had the same problem and it turned out to be Avast's (antivirus software) behavior monitor (monitors suspicious behavior on my system).

these are the errors I had:
