Oops, yes. So, tarsnap is working fine on Windows Server 2012 R2 with 64-bit Cygwin on Microsoft Azure on a 1 vCPU, 3.5 GB memory VM.

Bolstered by this success, I moved back to Alibaba Cloud, where I allocated a new instance with 1 vCPU and 2 GB memory, and installed 64-bit Cygwin. Unfortunately, compilation of tarsnap gives an error:

cc1: out of memory allocating 33619967 bytes after a total of 47775744 bytes
make[1]: *** [Makefile:3436: libarchive/libarchive_libarchive_a-archive_read_disk_entry_from_file.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/cygdrive/c/Users/Administrator/Downloads/tarsnap-autoconf-1.0.39'
make: *** [Makefile:1153: all] Error 2

One option I have is to add memory to the VM, and reattempt the compilation. But could I simply copy the various tarsnap .exe files that I built earlier?
