Copying the required boot libraries
« on: October 21, 2010, 08:07:46 PM »
The last part of this tutorial states this:

If the program fails to run you will certainly find that it is due to a missing file, the most common missing file type is a library (LIBS). To solve this problem copy the following libraries into the LIBS folder:

ASL.LIBRARY
DISKFONT.LIBRARY
EXPLODE.LIBRARY

However I can't seem to find theses files anywhere in either my system, work or Amiga-GCC harddrives. Can someone please post the AmigaShell commands required to copy these files as well as the intuition.library and graphics.library files to a floppy disk on DF0? If it helps I am using the Amiga Forever 2010 Plus Edition of the Workbench 3.X System.

intuition.library and graphics.library are in ROM.

You only need libraries that your program is using. No disk based libraries are required to boot a disk.

Ok, thanks that saves quite a bit of disk space.

Do you mean it's part of the kickstart bootstrap firmware?

Yes.

ASL and Diskfont come with Workbench.  Only Explode needs to be tracked down and that's probably on Aminet.net .

-edit-
Yes, it is.  http://aminet.net/package/util/libs/explode-7
