Emacs supplies its own malloc, but glib (part of Gtk+) calls memalign and on
Cygwin, that becomes the Cygwin supplied memalign. As malloc is not the
Cygwin malloc, the Cygwin memalign always returns ENOSYS. A fix for this
problem would be welcome.
Cygwin malloc, the Cygwin memalign always returns ENOSYS.
One workaround is to set G_SLICE=always-malloc before starting emacs.
For example, in bash,
G_SLICE=always-malloc emacs
or put
export G_SLICE=always-malloc
in one of the bash startup files. This also has to be done before
building emacs on Cygwin with Gtk+.
