Expand stack in Cygwin
How does one increase the stack size of an application using Cygwin? I have googled this and found suggestions such as adding -W1,--stack,800 to make the stack 8 meg. However, this doesn't work for me. I include this as an option to gcc in my makefile and bash just reports an error message. Robert H.

I include this as an option to gcc in my makefile and bash just reports an error message. That's probably something else. -- René Berber -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

Re: Expand stack in Cygwin
Thanks to all who wrote. Yes, the problem was that it should be Wl, not W1. (el not one) That makes the compiler happy, and actually solves the odd crashing I was getting. Robert H.
