● System.Drawing .NET Core on Mac/linux, GDIPlus Exception

Problem

I got the whole thing up and running in debug. But when I went for our dotnet run, I got the following crash:

The type initializer for 'Gdip' threw an exception.

Solution

After googling a bit, I found out that macs have a brew package for the GDI+ good to go.

MacOS

brew install mono-libgdiplus

项目nuget引用CoreCompat.System.Drawing

注意mono-libgdiplus和CoreCompat.System.Drawing与.net对用的版本。

Linux7

yum install libgdiplus-devel
ln -s /usr/lib64/libgdiplus.so /usr/lib/gdiplus.dll
ln -s /usr/lib64/libgdiplus.so /usr/lib64/gdiplus.dll

Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install libgdiplus
ln -s /usr/lib/libgdiplus.so /usr/lib/gdiplus.dll
