General notes: - the cygwin version seems based on 1.7.9 from 2011, so a bit old, plus it is a 32bit version that of course has fork limitation compared to the 64 bit version, while the system is a 64bit one. - never a good idea to have to have path with space witch cygwin D:\Program Files (x86)\HP\HP BTO Software I would try: call HP as they should solve the issue. In alternative, but I wonder why an installation require the gcc compiler and make. 1) install in a directory path without space 2) Update the cygwin package installed to a recent one also possible replace the package with a 64bit version.
