Hi Ignacio,

So finally I got it rolling again. I do have a problem someone in the community may be able to help me with. When compiling with SAS C 6.58 I get the link error that
@LibFreePooled
@LibAllocPooled
@LibCreatePool
and
@LibDeletePool

are undefined. These functions are supposed to be in the amiga.lib. Perhaps I got the wrong version. What I have is amiga.lib 40.14, 11-8-93. Should be ok, but isn't. Does anyone have something newer?

Not sure, sorry.  You could try asking on UtilityBase, more coders seem to hang out there.

Thank you NovaCoder.

Thank you Piru, I will pass him the message

[VingtTrois]

@VingTrois

I know the same as you do. So maybe you are right...
Lets keep our fingers crossed

I got tired of waiting and bought Amiga Future 85 last week.

@Gulliver

Have you asked him whether he would be willing to donate the source code to AROS?

@Gulliver

Have you asked him whether he would be willing to donate the source code to AROS?

I thought the idea was to release the code in the public domain. AROS coders would be as free as anyone else to use the code. See here:

"About your request. Yes, I think it is about time to make PFS3
available in the Public Domain. However I must think about the license
to use."

[Gulliver]

Yes, the entire point is to have PFS3 free and open source.

The compiler didn't like the includefiles of the NDK39. I did find the problem: PFS uses register arguments and apparently it expected the same of the amiga.lib calls. Adding the __stdargs keyword to the prototype definition did the trick. Of course it is not very nice to change the include file. It is better to switch to AsmAllocPooled and define that in the pfs headers. Better for performance too!
