LIBS versions and updates`
« on: November 02, 2015, 05:36:53 PM »
Sorry if this has been covered before but...

Is there a nifty program that lists all your libraries in one place, shows what version they are and helps you update them if they should be updated to the latest versions?  

Besides wanting to have the latest and best versions of my libs, I am asking because I now have this (fairly) stable 3.9 BB1&2 install and when I install some older programs I suspect that some of them copy their older versions of libraries over my newer ones without asking.  Recently I installed some software and I believe it did that as my system immediately started getting buggy and crashing.  I reinstalled 3.9 and BB 1 & 2 again and the system started behaving again, but I would like to have a more organized way of knowing whats what and keeping it that way.

Ideas?

I started writing a replacement for C:Copy that compares version strings of any file you copy with it but it's sat there 60% finished for a couple of years due to various real life issues taking up all my time.

Might try and finish it off at some point soon.

Great idea.  Is this being done in C?

Most recent version I could find last night is from August 28th 2013 and isn't SAS/C compilable so I must have a newer version backed up somewhere.

If I can't find anything newer at the weekend I'll use this version to carry on working with.

Not to derail this thread too much, and forgive the amateur programmer question... but I seem to remember the last C compiler coming out for the Amiga as Storm C and if my memory serves SAS/C was the defacto when Amiga first began.  Is there any consideration beyond personal preference when it comes to which C environment/compiler you use when writing a piece of software in C for the 68k Amiga now-a-days?
