I defined them as:  ( change them to match your needs ).


#define CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_POSIX_THREADS      	      128
#define CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_POSIX_MUTEXES 	      128
#define CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_POSIX_CONDITION_VARIABLES   128
#define CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_POSIX_KEYS         	      128
#define CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_POSIX_TIMERS                100
#define CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_POSIX_QUEUED_SIGNALS        100
#define CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_POSIX_MESSAGE_QUEUES        100
#define CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_POSIX_SEMAPHORES            100
