Amiga System Libraries include for VASM

Where can I find Amiga System libraries include files for VASM?

Thanks alkis. I get an error compiling:

unknown mnemonic <FUNCDEF>

I'm using motorola syntax. Are these libraries for this kind of syntax?

Just uncompress this zip inside the inludes

if you want to use functions of exec, do
include lvo/exec_lib.i

for dos

include lvo/dos_lib.i

etc.

Some of the lib files don't assign numbers to library jump offsets directly but use a macro called FUNCDEF to define the jump offset (by substracting -6 to every following function).

I think it is in exec/libraries.i

Thanks to all for the answers, but I have new questions.

- What does LVO mean?
- What does incupd mean?
- Are they part of Amiga system libraries?
- Or are both libraries equivalent to Amiga system libraries?

It's just the name of an inofficial include-file update on Aminet.
These additional files are helpful, but unfortunately not official. So I would keep that in mind if you plan to release your source text and others cannot assemble it.

Not sure what "system libraries" means for you.
No, the LVO's are not defined in a shared library. They are defined by the amiga.lib linker library, though. All function names are prefixed by _LVO. To use such a symbol fron amiga.lib, import it into your assembler source with

xref _LVOFunctionName

and link the object file with

-lamiga

Which "both libraries"? We were talking about LVOs and include files.

Ok Phx. I believe everything is clear for me. I have three directories with .i files, the first one problably extracted from a C compiler, a second one with LVO definitions and incups. The last one was complete unknown for me.

Thanks Phx and the rest of members for the answers.
