Description Ioannis Aslanidis (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-07-15 10:50:04 UTC
When I try to emulate something, I always get the following message:

-----
Your system requires the use of pthreads but the maximum system allowed stack size of 2052 kB may be too small for some games.
If you experience problems, try rerunning with "-use-pthreads no" which may help
-----

(Do not ask to use '-use-pthreads no', that's useless)

This happened since I upgraded glibc 2 or 3 days ago. I have been googling around and it seems that that stack error message comes because of a 'bad' compilation of glibc.

I would like to ask you to add a patch so the stack size gets increased. Thank you.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Comment 1 Ioannis Aslanidis (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-08-04 12:48:25 UTC
I've been told to

# USE="nptl" emerge glibc

It is supposed to solve the problem...
Comment 2 Ioannis Aslanidis (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-08-04 12:52:35 UTC
Watch out! You might need to remove previous kernel headers before attempting to re-emerge glibc
Comment 3 Ioannis Aslanidis (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-08-04 23:22:55 UTC
# USE="nptl" emerge glibc SOLVED the problem.

I advise printing a notice before or after emerging cedega about this.
