I have problems when building a large haskell system (haskell-jvm bridge).
The compiler complains (see below) that the heap size is too small and limited to about 268 MB.

How can I increase the heap size of ghc?
I tried to use option -H600M but then I still get the same error.
Actually you need to use the -M option to increase the heap size beyond this limit on Windows. I'll see if I can fix the message. Cheers, Simon
