Re: Cygwin and lz/lza running out of memory?


The link sounded promising but no matter how high I set it (tried up to 8192), I get the same error, even when bringing down the compression ratio a bit.

I attempted to increase the cygwin heap on both /usr/lib/p7zip/7z.exe and 7za.exe.

Depending on the options I choose, I keep running into lz/lzma reporting:
"ERROR: Can't allocate required memory!".

This can occur before or during compression. The lz/lza process tends to
stop after gaining about 400MB on the process; then it exits with this
error. The problem does not appear to be how much available memory I have
but rather q question of why the process can't seem to allocate it.

Any advice?

Take a look at this thread and see if this leads you to an answer.
