What's wrong with builtin gdiplus? File a bug for that please for version 1.1.14.
As far as I know (since it was a couple weeks back), gdiplus.dll didn't exist in the /system32 folder. I needed to download a copy from the internet (or a suitable replacement from a Windows box).
Wine has gdiplus support, we just don't have a fake dll in system32. Does your app depend on that? If so, just making an empty file there should have the same effect.
Hello Austin,
As per your above suggestion, I proceeded to replace the windows gdiplus.dll with an empty file with the same name.
An error message occurred with the statement: "gdiplus.dll is either missing or not working because of a system configuration problem. Some display smoothing functionality will be unavailable."
However, upon quick testing of the program, Sibelius now runs smoother with the built-in WINE dll. Click-and-Drag is much more responsive, as is shifting titles/text around.
Three cheers for an excellent (and legal) workaround. Would the "missing" dll be a suitable candidate for bugzilla for inclusion in the next WINE version?
