Short: Universal Amiga shared library installer script Author: i07m@informatik.uni-bremen.de (Kai Hofmann) Uploader: i07m informatik uni-bremen de (Kai Hofmann) Type: dev/misc Version: 43.0 Requires: Installer Architecture: m68k-amigaos Distribution: NoCD Lib-Install is an installer script for Amiga shared libraries that is highly modular to be reusable for other installer scripts. Lib-Install features: - Follows the V43 Installer Style Guide - Correctly supports the different user levels - Install new/update mode - Uninstallation - Supports Installers prior to V43 - Highly automated - Very flexible - Very intelligent (for an installer-script ;-) - It uses WrapGuide (if present) for the AmigaGuide® documentation if running under a pre V39 system. - Autodetects the CPU/FPU - Autodetects the OS version - Autodetects existing files within the distribution archive - Installs the optimal 68010-68060 binary if available - It supports the following languages: English, German - Supports source code installation for the following programming languages: C, Assembler, Amiga-E, Modula II, Oberon, ARexx - It can be reused by (hopefully) many other Amiga shared libraries since the authors of shared libraries need to change only a few things: * The #copyright variable * The #min_os_version and #min_os_revision variables * The #language variable * The P_CustomExists, P_CustomInstall and P_CustomUninstall procedures * The 'APPNAME' tooltype within the Lib-Install icon IMPORTANT NOTE: This package may not be included on any further Aminet CD-ROMs unless authors contributing their software to the CD-ROM, (without mentioning distribution "NoCD") are granted a copy of the CD *completely* *free* *of* *charge*. The Meeting Pearls IV CD-ROM demonstrates that a Freebie policy is also possible with "very-low-budget" CD-ROMs (*), so Aminet should quickly re-establish the same Freebie policy it used up to Aminet CD 13. (*) Suggested retail price for MP4 is DM 14,95/US$ 12/£ 8.95.
