  • SharedCLibrary

    From Richard Ashbery@21:1/5 to All on Thu Jun 1 17:26:37 2023
    Can someone remind me how to update an older copy of SharedCLibrary.
    Mine is 6.15 but I need to update it to the most recent version which I
    believe is 6.19?

    Assuming this is for a 26bit CLib and not for OS5 then it is in ROOL's
    System resources for pre-RISC OS 5
    I made the mistake I installed the 26 bit modules....Fortunately the Os is
    in ROM.
    https://www.riscosopen.org/content/downloads/common

    It is in 310.Modules and goes in the same place in the 26bit OS.

    There is inflation everywhere these days, SharedCLibrary is now at
    6.20. CallASWI and FPEmulator shouls also be updated.

    Thanks for these informations

    The modern Shared C Library is usually referred to as being the "32-bit" one (for historical reasons), but comes in versions for 32-bit and 26-bit OSs.

    It's harmless to have 26 bit modules hanging around, they aren't going to be loaded by RISC OS 5.

    If you want a 32 bit CLib then you can grab one for disc from !Boot.Resources.!System.500.Modules in the main disc image
    https://www.riscosopen.org/zipfiles/platform/common/HardDisc4.zip

    If you can't or don't want to update the RISC OS 5 ROM, just make sure it's loaded only once, nice and early in the boot sequence,
    Sprow.

    Sorry I didn't make it clear - I wanted it for the ARMX6 to try to
    eliminate an intermittent Stickies crash with Pinboard 2. I now have a
    more recent version copied into 310.Modules (thanks David). Stickies is behaving at the moment but I doubt the intermittency has anything to do
    with the SharedCLibrary despite 'Where' reporting an issue with it.

    Before anyone says email the [email protected] . I have but
    messages don't appear on list. I've let Andrew know the problem.

    My answer started with, "Assuming this is for a 26bit CLib and not for
    OS5". 310.Modules is the place for 26bit builds of the ROOL CLib. OS5
    will not see it as there is by default a 32bit build of the CLib in 500.Modules.

    Sprow's answer applies for updating OS5.

    The RMEnsure to load the later version is in !System.!Run and should
    be :-

    If Boot$OSVersion >= 310 Then RMEnsure SharedCLibrary 6.20 RMLoad System:Modules.CLib

    [snip]

    Assuming this is for a 26bit CLib and not for OS5 then it is in
    ROOL's System resources for pre-RISC OS 5

    https://www.riscosopen.org/content/downloads/common

    It is in 310.Modules and goes in the same place in the 26bit OS.

    There is inflation everywhere these days, SharedCLibrary is now at
    6.20.

    Thank you for this information, I was able to update for my ARM6, it
    works.
