Sorry to post here, if anyone know the official feedback/feature request/bug forum for AmiStore, please tell me

I found two bugs in Amistore and CANDI

CANDI: The latest update will crash on installing the update.
It will tell me that i miss libz.so, after that libphython25.so and after that it will crash/freeze (and never install correctly)

AmiStore:
On the purchased items page, clicking on one item and then on "Help" on the lower part of the page WILL NOT bring up the "Help/Feedback?" page of the program i was on, but rather will bring up the page of the program that is BEHIND it that moment.
Explanation: There is the default rollover of all programs available when i start AmiStore, it will slowly browse through the programs.
The one that is displayed as background will be the one that is openend when i click on "Help" (from a completely different program, e.g. CANDI)

You should have "libz.so", "libz.so.1" and "libz.so.1.2" as soft links to "SOBJS:libz.so.1.2.3" in your SYS:SObjs directory.

If you've made a copy of your SYS partition or restored it from a backup you might have lost them.

If so you can recreate them using the following MakeLink commands:
MakeLink SOFT SOBJS:libz.so SOBJS:libz.so.1.2.3
MakeLink SOFT SOBJS:libz.so.1 SOBJS:libz.so.1.2.3
MakeLink SOFT SOBJS:libz.so.1.2 SOBJS:libz.so.1.2.3

There are also a couple of other .so files that should have soft links in SYS:SObjs, if necessary I can look them up for you.

libz.so.1 is a dependency for libpython25.so so that's probably why it's failing to load too.

I was missing libz.so.1 and libz.so.1.2 :-/
Why i don't know

Please, if you got the time, it would be nice if you could gather a list of softlinked .so's i need...i didn't have a single one in SOBJS:

Thank you

OK, these are the ones I have on my AmigaOS 4.1 FE partition:

libbz2.so.1.0 Link ----rwed 13-Jan-15 12:12:34
> SObjs:libbz2.so.1.0.4
libz.so.1.2 143914 ----rwed 30-Dec-14 15:24:59
> SOBJS:libz.so.1.2.3
libz.so.1 143914 ----rwed 30-Dec-14 15:24:59
> SOBJS:libz.so.1.2.3
libz.so 143914 ----rwed 30-Dec-14 15:24:59
> SOBJS:libz.so.1.2.3
libpng.so 662668 ----rwed 30-Dec-14 15:24:59
> SOBJS:libpng12.so
libbz2.so Link ----rwed 30-Dec-14 15:24:59
> SOBJS:libbz2.so.1.0.4

Here is a script that I keep in my SObjs/ drawer. Whenever I copy a system partition, I simply cd to SObjs/ and type "makelinks". It does it all for me.
Copy this script and add the "s" protection bit to make it executable.

Awesome, thanks a lot

Also for libharfbuzz.so

Open a shell, cd to sys:sobjs and enter:

makelink libharfbuzz.so libharfbuzz.so.0.9.28

What the * is that lib for?

HarfBuzz is an OpenType text shaping engine.

I suspect that Tony's script would need to be updated if any new links are added by an OS4.x installer.

If you want to copy a directory or partition and have the links preserved, use Workbench drag-n-drop (AsyncWB) to make the copy. Copying with Dopus4 and AmigaDOS "Copy" command will copy the linked files instead of making the links at the destination location.
