Trying to develop on a .NET 6 project – experience issues with the unsupported System.Drawing.Common module. (Breaking change: System.Drawing.Common only supported on Windows - .NET | Microsoft Docs)

steps:

  1. Install libgdiplus: sudo pacman -S libgdiplus
  2. Build project: sudo dotnet run

What is your question / problem?

I want to find a solution obviously. It works on Ubuntu, and is only officially supported on Windows.

Did you read the page that you have linked above?

The solution is mentioned there.

5

Yes, I have tried this. Sorry for not making this clear. I believe that an old version of GDI+ which is avaliable on AUR is the culprit.

Just tried and it works fine for me (I’m on vanilla arch, but that should not make a difference).

So you did create a runtimeconfig.template.json file with this content into your project folder?

{
   "configProperties": {
      "System.Drawing.EnableUnixSupport": true
   }
}

However, as stated in the article, you better migrate your project to another library instead…

7

Yes, but maybe I did it incorrectly? Could you .zip the project you are using so that I could inspect the structure?
