ppc.library and WarpOS

22 August 2002, 15:22

Everytime I boot my system, WarpOS activates itself and displays a message stating that I should terminate ppc.library for WarpOS cannot work if ppc.library is enabled. I always click terminate but I wonder if there is a permanent solution to this.

Some program might be starting it. Look in your startup scripts for a loadlib command being issued towards the ppc.library!

Or bruteforce it: move ppc.library to somewhere away from libs: and see what happens

It's not in the libs, I'm afraid it's on the bios of the ppc card or something :/

On the A1200 (BlizzardPPC) the ppc.library is in the Flash ROM and is activated automaticaly during boot up.

You can either set the Env variable TERMINATOR to 2 (terminate without ask), or install BPPCFIX. You must install BPPCFIX if you want to install the ppc.library emulation (in order to run PowerUP and WarpOS programs concurrently).

Here is the link to ppclibemu and BPPCfix: http://devnull.owl.de/~frank/ppcemu.html

Also read the WarpOS documentation about ENV variables.

Edit: just saw that the page is in german. Here is the english version: http://devnull.owl.de/~frank/ppcemu_e.html

I've chosen Terminator 2 option and it's done. I was nearly sure it was previously terminator 2 too.

But the problem is solved, thank you a lot for the help.
