Hello, I try to compile polymake on cygwin.
Compiling works fine as long as cc1plus does not occupy more memory than I have RAM (ca. 750 MB) on my machine. After this it gets of course really slow.
I think the problem is, that polymake uses templates very heavy and compiles with --ftemplate-depth-200.
When I reduce the value as much to resolve my memory problems, I get of course errors about template-depth not high enough.
I must confess I am rather not a expert for gcc, therefore can I do something to reduce memory consumptions or any other tricks to compile polymake? I have tried the optimization parameters -O -O1 -03.
On Linux it seems to compile with even less RAM than I have.
