MatConvNet Compilation out of heap space error

Hi,

I'm trying to use MatLab to run a network using MatConvNet. I am trying to compile MatConvNet for CPU using Visual Studio 2015 (I am on windows). When I run the code below, I get the error out of heap space. This is a weird issue, I have 16gb of ram in my machine and i have previously compiled on a 8gb linux machine.

I have tried reinstalling visual studio and matlab, and had a search online for similar issues, but I cannot find any solutions to my problem.

>> mex -setup C++
