I was checking wine for GDI+ support and noticed that there are no headers or anything at all. I did not find any further information, so i guess there's no work being done there?
Seems so. Might be related to the fact that it's not widely used yet and not shipped with pre-XP Windows so most apps which use it (are there any? :) probably come with their own gdiplus.dll.
I should note that gdiplus.dll is written in plain C - it exports just the (documented) "flat APIs" with all the C++ classes being in the PSDK headers so it should be possible to support it in Wine.
So, winelib is not an option. What about using wine and native gdiplus.dll, any experiences?
As gdiplus.dll seems to be just a wrapper around gdi32.dll (at least that's what the imports indicate, MSDN claims "Applications based on the Microsoft Win32 API do not access graphics hardware directly. Instead, GDI+ interacts with device drivers on behalf of applications.") using native gdiplus.dll should be no problem.
But as I don't know any app using GDI+ I can't test that. ;)
