[Mingw-users] Rebasing issue?

[Saúl I. C. <sa...@ag...>]

Hi all,

It's my fist mail to this mailing list, I've been browsing the archives 
for a solution to my issue, but I'm unable to find it. If it has been 
answered before, please point me to the right place :)

I'm porting a python application which has a C module built with Cython 
into Windows. The build process looks successful and I get the pyd file, 
but when I import it from Python I get the following error:

$ python
Python 2.5.4 (r254:67916, Dec 23 2008, 15:10:54) [MSC v.1310 32 bit 
(Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> from sipsimple.core import Engine
       0 [main] us 0 init_cheap: VirtualAlloc pointer is null, Win32 
error 487
AllocationBase 0x0, BaseAddress 0x71690000, RegionSize 0x410000, State 
0x10000
c:\Python25\python.exe: *** Couldn't reserve space for cygwin's heap, 
Win32 error 6

All I could find is somehow related to 'rebasing' something, but I'm not 
really familiar with what exactly 'rebase' means in the MinGW context 
and why should I need it. Moreover, everything runs for me in MinGW 
except for this (I've read that for some not even ls.exe was working).

I'm running Windows XP SP3 with latest MSYS and MinGW packages manually 
installed.

Any hint on how to debug this would be greatly appreciated :)


Best regards,
