System / Library include fles

rjd324 · 21 April 2021, 21:13

Wondering if someone can either point me in the right direction, or tell me why what I expect is incorrect. I am influenced due to being able to do certain things in GNU-Linux distros; if I want to download a library, I can do so. If I want to download the header files for that library, I generally can also do that.

So, now in the Amiga domain is the same thing possible. Let's say I am using the newest icon library well then that is all well and good. But, now I may want to write a program that uses the interfaces available in that library. During compilation I am going to get shouted out saying that certain functions have no prototype because, let's say, I am using a version of the icon library's header file that is pre version 40 because that is all that came with the compiler that I am using. I mean, I guess I can tell the compiler not worry and just promise it that the function is really there, but I am trying to figure out how other people are dealing with this?

If your compiler is older than the OS then you should upgrade the include files with those that come with the OS.

Indeed. And the Developer CD is at least one way to do that. So this is no longer a problem.
Thanks.

The latest NDK for OS 3.x is available there: http://www.haage-partner.de/download/AmigaOS/

There will be a new one when 3.2 is released.
