Dear all,

 I am trying to install Root 4.01/04 from source on Windows XP running the
latest version of cygwin. I have followed axel's instructions from
http://www.muenster.de/~naumana/win32gcc.html, stating:

cd /cygdrive/c
tar xzvf /cygdrive/c/install/root....tar.gz
cd root
export ROOTSYS=$PWD
./configure win32gcc --build=debug
make
make map
\ls bin/*.dll bin/*.exe | rebaseall -T -

all goes well until the last command, where I recive:

ReBaseImage (/usr/bin/cygexpat-0.dll) failed with last error = 6

I ignore this and continue, defining my enviromental parameters in .bash_profile
by adding:

export PATH=$PATH:/c/WINDOWS/system32:/c/WINDOWS
#
# ROOT
#
export ROOTSYS='c:\root'   # must be in DOS format (change path!)
export PATH=`cygpath -u $ROOTSYS`/bin:$PATH


I run startx followed by root. The splash screen appears, then the Xterm
freezes and I recieve:

$ root
      4 [main] ? 2232 cygheap_fixup_in_child: Couldn't reserve 9891540 bytes of
space for cygwin's heap (0x61790000 <0xA10000>) in child, Win32 error 487
c:\root\bin\root_exe.exe (2232): *** m.AllocationBase 0x613C0000, m.BaseAddress
0x61790000, m.RegionSize 0x19000, m.State 0x1000


Any ideas?

Kind Regards,

Richard White
