SYS:C/Make Link: function not implemented?

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

I have checked my Libs Folder and I have 5 different icon.library files which are icon.library, icon.library.45.1, icon.library.45.4, icon.library_68000 and icon.library_69020, could this be the problem?

Hahaha.  While I don't think this is the cause of you're problem, you're going to want to get rid of those.  :lol:

What I do with mine is rename them with a ".old" extension during testing, then once I'm sure the new replacement is working I move them into an archive partition.  Keep that main LIBS: folder clean!

Which library files should I delete? Do I rename the file I'm keeping as just plain icon.library?

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

The newest version of Peter's icon.library is always on the first page of the thread. I'll link to that page since it sometimes has important information.

AAAAHHHHHH.  FML.  You know, I'd always look for it on the LAST PAGE.  Thinking "last is most recent is newest".  I guess my logic just totally fails, in this case.

Correct.  You want the correct one for your processor from @Matthey's link (IconLib_46.4.412.lha), rename it to just "icon.library", and stick it in LIBS:.  

Edit: you should also get the C: tools from the Aminet version ( Aminet - util/libs/IconLib_46.4.lha ), as well, and stick those in your C:.  You may want to play around with them, they let you do things like make outlined text, or you may not.  But doesn't hurt to have them.

Which library files should I delete?

I recommend keeping icon.library 45.4 (01/24/06) as a backup with a different name. I believe this is the newest official icon.library which came with AmigaOS 3.9. You may have icon.library 40.1 (02/15/93) or similar if you have AmigaOS 3.1 installed. This version is the one in most 3.1 kickstart ROMs.

There are 3 library files which one will I use? There is icon.lbrary_Lined, icon.library_68000 and icon.library_68020. Will it be the 68020 as I am using an 030 accelerator?

Ding-ding-ding!  :lol:

After you get that installed, reboot and drop down to a command prompt and give us the output of :

version ram-handler full
version c:makelink full

This is what I am getting.

[matthey]

This is what I am getting.

My AmigaOS 3.9 Amiga gives:

> version ram-handler full
ram-handler 44.24 (12/01/04)
> version c:makelink full
makelink 45.0 (12/24/00)

Hmm.

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

This is what I am getting.

Good sir, you need to update your ram-handler.  You're using an old version from 1992, that is no bueno!

Where would I get a newer version from?

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

Where would I get a newer version from?

It should have been installed as part of your BB updates, however since it sounds like you installed 3.9 on top of 3.1 (rather than a fresh 3.9 install), who knows what old junk you have left in there.  One sec, let me see what I can do.  Unless @Matthey beats me to it.

A recent ram-handler 44.23 is in the AmigaOS 3.9 official BB2 "DEVS:AmigaOS ROM Update". The ram-handler 44.24 should be in the "unofficial" Boing Bag updates as well as elsewhere but this is a kickstart module. There are several ways to patch it in after kickstart is loaded which should have been done in your S:Startup-Sequence if you are using the unofficial Boing Bags. I use Blizkick and my own custom kickstart so I don't need it and can't say specifically what is need.

I wouldn't have a clue how to do that

This page says ram-handler 44.24 is bugged:

http://lilliput.amiga-projects.net/TechDetails.htm

I've always used 44.23 (which is included in the 3.9 ROM updates), but what the heck, I'll try 44.24, and now you can, too.  File attached, stick it in your L: and reboot.  Save any old versions as ".old", or a backup method of your choice, first!  

(We may have to revisit your Startup-Sequence again, but try the above, first.)
