Summary
Your build breaks with the error message “fork: resource temporarily unavailable.”
Solution
This message is actually generated by Windows when the system’s heap settings are too low for the number of processes running. Unfortunately, there is not a good methodology for determining the correct heap size. Experiment with a large heap setting and work down until the size is just large enough for the error not to appear.
