Share Folder on 1.3 Kickstart Not Working?

Is there any reason why the Share driver - specifically misterfilesystem.c - would not work on System 1.3? (ks1.3/wb1.3). I've tried this, and when trying to access Share:, for example by attempting "list share:", I get the error "file is not an object module"
From checking Library documentation, I can't see any reason why it wouldn't work and the only thing I could see was that devinfo structure access needs to happen after forbid() - which it does in the code!
a314fs works on 1.3 - see pics on https://github.com/niklasekstrom/a314 - so I'm guessing it's either something to do with the way it is being compiled, or the slight modifications made for mister, or updates since the fork?
Any hints where to start looking for the issues?

I had a dig through the code and could see nothing 3.x specific at all in there, so guessed it may be to do with the build environment linking to 3.x startup code... It looks like that's the problem!
If anyone else is daft enough to want MiSTer running on 1.3 with access to the Share: directory, I've managed to build the MiSTerFileSystem using kick13 startup - basically by building it in the docker build environment of a314 - thanks Nicklas!

Nice. The gold box games run best under Workbench 1.3 so I usually set it up for most my Amigas, and on an Amiga 1200 I have made a custom 1.3 kickrom with scsi.device added to it, which also works for Minimig on MiSTer. The alternative I guess is to always have a bootdisk that loads it for you.
Thanks for sharing this. It seems to work with both WB 1.3 and WB 3.1.
I linked this thread in the official shared folder thread, and it seems they might make the official MiSTerFilesystem support 1.3 by default.

Share: folder on 2.0 Kickstart?

Thanks, ByteMavericks! I have successfully set up a local MiSTer: share on 1.3, but I also wanted to set it up for 2.05/2.1 (think Amiga 600HD). I tried both the 1.3 and 3.x versions, but none of them seem to work. I assume it would have to be built under 2.0 to work?

Nevermind, I must have missed a step yesterday. Currently using the 3.x version on 2.0/2.1, and it seems to work great!

thank you @ByteMavericks !!! it makes me happy, finally being able to use the SHARE: folder with Kickstart 1.3.
I made a bootable ADF which mounts the MisterFileSystem and immediately starts FileMaster.
no copyrights have been violated!
FileMaster 2.2 is available for free:
https://aminet.net/package/util/dir/FileMaster2.2
the CLI commands "EndCLI" and "Mount" were taken from The AmigaDOS Resource Project 1.3:
https://aminet.net/package/misc/antiq/ARP_13
"dummy.device" and "MountList" were downloaded from GitHub:
https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Minimig ... _share.lha
and "MiSTerFileSystem" came obviously from this thread here:
download/file.php?id=1660
cheers,
michael
