It was not answered in the other post. There are no solutions in any other posts! 

 This is driving me crazy - is there a definitive fix for this stupid cygwin make error that says there is insufficient heap, even though the standard heap is 256M?   I moved to Win 7, and have not been able to build anything.    I am having exactly the same problem. Searching the web, many others are having this problem. There is something wrong with Cygwin under Windows 7, and it needs fixing. I have done these things to no avail: 1. Made a DW in /HKLM/Software/Cygnus Solutions/Cygwin/heap_chunk_in_mb 1024 (and 2048) 2. Totally eliminated Logitech quickcam including the services process Monitor or Injector Service from my PC. 3. Formatted my hard drive, re-installed Win 7, installed just Office 2007, followed by Quartus and Nios IDE.  4. Tried both Nios IDE 7.2 Sp2 and Nios IDE 11.0 SP1. (I'm trying to maintain a legacy project that has been out there for some years).  5. Tried to run the IDE in XP, Vista compatability modes.  6. Tried to run the IDE as an administrator.   I have no virus checker (eg McAfee or Bit defender - they were got rid of in the reformat). I do not have Sonic, Zonealarm, Kerio or Agnitum.    I do have ATI catalyst drivers running (necessary for this HP i7 machine).    I would really appreciate some help, as at the moment I can do no further program maintenance, and Nios is effectively garbage.    I would love a solution, please!
