I am facing fatal error C1060: compiler is out of heap space issue on Windows OS while compiling specific .c files in my project. Those .c files are huge and they eat memory when i run the build in -j%NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS% which will consume all available cpu cores (i.e 20) and results to memory issues. I try to reduce no of cores to -j10, But still i face heap space issues intermittently.

Using Cygwin v3.5.3, Makefile (GNU Make v4.4.1) on Win11, I have a common canned recipe that is being called from various other targets with different variables.

Suppose I need to perform some task before a specific file type is ready to be created, but then I would like to run the generic rule:

I am trying to build library via following code snippet in makefile. Basically i am trying to split the object files and create two static libraries because of library size exceeds limitation in windows OS. There are totally 537 obj files exists and i am dividing them into two sets and creating .lib static library each.

I am trying to include another Makefile (“Makefile2”) in the same folder into a Makefile like this:

I need to run “git log” command from Makefile and store the logs in another file. This I need to do for 2 different paths i.e. for 2 different repos

I was looking for alternatives for compiling C-code using Makefile with conditional CFLAGS. For which I found this option. It worked perfectly.

I have a file (e.g. iostruct.def) with some variable definitions in it:

I am producing artifacts foo.out, bar.out, and qux.out. I have a rule %.cooked: %.raw.
