--- Comment #2 from Michael W. michaelwigard@arcor.de --- (In reply to Alexandre Julliard from comment #1)
Yes, it is now required to have a fake dll, so that we can have a file in PE format to return to the app when it asks for it.
Thanks for the swift reply! I will pass this information along to the WineASIO devs. Is there any documentation that I could point them at that explains how these should be built and where they should be placed? My naive attempts at copying one of the existing fake dlls were unsuccessful (couldn't get it to work without also setting WINEDLLPATH). In the meantime, would it be possible for Wine to emit a warning and find the dll.so in the absence of a fake dll? As it stands, WineASIO (and possibly other projects that I don't know of) is just broken, while the workaround shows that it could work fine without the fake dll.
