Subject: MEDM won't compile in Cygwin: "Too many open files"

Successfully compiled EPICS R3.15.0.1  in Cygwin (Windows 7 platform) , but when I try to subsequently compile MEDM 3.1.7 it fails with:

 

<…..>/base/extensions/configure/CONFIG:12:         ../configure/RELEASE: Too many open files

<…..>/base/extensions/configure/CONFIG:21:         <…..>/base/extensions/configure/CONFIG: Too many open files

<…..>/base/extensions/configure/CONFIG:25:         ../configure/CONFIG_SITE: Too many open files

<…..>/base/extensions/configure/RULES_DIRS:3:   <…..>/base/extensions/configure/RULES_DIRS: Too many open files

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

 

Not sure, but this seems to be a stack size problem which in a Linux environment could be solved with the “ulimit” command, but in Cygwin that command apparently doesn’t work – I get “cannot modify limit:  Invalid argument.”  Does anybody have a suggestion how I can get MEDM to compile in Cygwin?

 

Thanks,
