I am trying to increase the thread limits on my machine to accomodate a java application. I am doing this while following the instructions on www.volano.com. I am to the point where I am trying to increase the STACK_SIZE and PTHREAD_THREADS_MAX in the glibc source. I have done an "apt-get source libc6" in order to pull everythng down. I have edited the header files a couple of times and then tried to re-build the package with "dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -us" only to get the following error during the package build:
dpkg-source: building glibc using existing glibc_2.1.3.orig.tar.gz
dpkg-source: building glibc in glibc_2.1.3-13.diff.gz
dpkg-source: cannot represent change to glibc-linuxthreads-2.1.3.tar:
binary file contents changed
dpkg-source: warning: ignoring deletion of file glibc-linuxthreads-2.1.3.tar.bz2
dpkg-source: building glibc in glibc_2.1.3-13.dsc
dpkg-source: unrepresentable changes to source
This is the first time I have tried re-building a package so it is entirely possible that I am editing the wrong instance of the header files. Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated.
