Hi, if you are building erlang under cygwin to follow the couchdb 0.10 windows instructions, turn off your on-access virus scanner (McAfee in my case), it leaks memory, may be because of cygwin who knows, but results in nasty Windows crash with lots of CreateProcessA errors and nothing else works in the OS either. A hard reboot is the only way out.
Turning off the scanner works ok, I had to make the following change to otp_src_R13B02-1\lib\gs\tcl\Makefile.in TCL_TAR = @TCL_TAR@ ifneq ($(TCL_TAR),) ifeq ($(TARGET),win32) TCL_TAR = binaries/win32.tar.gz endif endif instead of ifeq ($(TARGET),win32) TCL_TAR = binaries/win32.tar.gz else TCL_TAR = @TCL_TAR@ endif and I wasn't able to get the enviroment to pick up wxwidgets or openssl but everything else was good!
