Requirements not stated in documentation #659

YAM requires a PNG datatype and AmiSSL to run, but this is not mentioned in the readme or the (apparently now deprecated) YAM.guide.

The lack of a PNG datatype, as is the default scenario on AmigaOS 3.0, causes a huge stream of errors on startup as YAM tries to open the PNG images from the default theme, unsuccessfully of course.

OTOH, AmiSSL appears to be a hard requirement now instead of optional, but you only find out when YAM immediately quits after being unable to open it.

Tested installing YAM 2.9p1 on fs-uae (linux) emulating AmigaOS 3.9, which happened to lack a PNG datatype in my case too.

Never mind, for some strange reason I missed the "Ignore" button at the bottom of the requester...
