I'm getting a strange error during compilation with Lattice C 4.0…I get a "can't execute LC2" error, using LC to compile. I've found there isn't a big enough chunk of memory to hold LC2. There is usually over 200K of free memory but the biggest chunk is only about 80K. Rebooting doesn't help and the manual doesn't explain what to do. The error happens sometimes when I've made simple changes to the source file, but without making it much larger. I think LC1 is allocating a big chunk of memory (for large symbol table due to strange code?) and leaves memory too segmented for LC2 to have a large enough chunk to be loaded into. Also, I found (on page 7-3) the manual suggests using the -B (big compiler) option for LC (not documented in the manual under LC, page C-8) for a "Not enough memory" error, and LC says it's not a valid option. I'd appreciate whatever help anyone could give. Thanks, Chip
