Thanks all you guys for your help.
Gerrit has solved the problem -thanks a lot Gerrit- and the program runs in
my pc
I'm afraid the error prompt was a bit misleading but I don't understand yet
why it was raised.

Hi,
I have the latest Cygwin/cygnome environment (Cygwin 1.5.5.1 dll)
installed
two weeks ago for compiling a working program already tested in linux and
solaris. The program uses the X libraries Xt, Xpm, Xaw and X11 in an
interface window written in C and runs a program written in Fortran.
I compiled the interface program written in C (xgraph.c) using gcc -x -o
xgraph.o xgraph.c -I/usr/X11R6/include and it created the object file
without problems.
I then compiled the fortran code and linked the libraries and required
object files -including the C program- as I did in Linux (I just changed
the
paths for the includes and the libraries) and the names of the libraries
-lXpm - -lXpm.dll, -lX11 --lX11.dll). It compiled fine and I got my
object
dependencies ok and the exe file without problems. But, when I tried to
run
the program I got a Program too big to fit in memory error message and
it
didn't run. The program is 1.4 MB and my computer has 256 MB RAM and 9 GB
hard disk free space (defragmented, i.e., single chunk).
I run the max_memory program included in Chapter 3 of the users manual I
think, and it reports 1560 kB. So I'm discarding real memory problems.
I have tried:
1. increasing Cygwin memory restriction using regtool for
memory_chunk_in_mb to set 2048 kB. Nope.
2. compiling the code with -fconserve-space, -fno-inline, -Wl... heap and
stack They Reduce the exe file size a bit, but still didn't work.
Program too big to fit in memory.
3. stripping the exe file using strip -s exe_file. Reduces the size of
the
executable by 1/3 but still getting the same error message.
I run out of options, so I hope someone can give a hint what to do to make
my program run.
Thanks,
Elkin
