I've been a bit confused. I just recently installed the most recent version of the devKit on my laptop here, and I want to put file loading/saving support in an application I'm working on. It would seem, however, that libfat is not installed with the devKit. That, or I just can't find it.

Can you tell me what I need to do to get libfat up and running quick? Basically, I just need the ability to read/write files in the normal binary mode, nothing too fancy, I can do the rest from there.

Thanks in advance. ^_^ Oh, and it's good to be back, I finally found some time to develop again.

hi!
normally you could always download libfat separately. o haven't looked, but last time i downloaded it, it was there with all the other libs!
happy coding!

If you used the updater then libfat should be there, assuming you're on windows.

I found it!

I was being silly, and looking for "libfat.h" and not "fat.h". Problem solved, but thanks anyway!
