[Opensim-dev] libgdiplus and OS X

[Kyle Hamilton]

Since gdiplus relies on rendering support on Windows, I can't really
see there's much difficulty in this dependency.   (unless someone
wants to port libgdiplus to rely on Quartz, and since that's native
code I don't think there's many people here who have that particular
skillset nor desire to spend that much time on it.)  (GDI+ is
'graphical device interface plus extensions'.  I'd bet (but don't have
a VM available to prove) if you tried to run OpenSim under mono on
Linux without X installed, you'd get the same error.)

I can't see that this is anything more than an undocumented dependency
that "just works" everywhere else because the dependencies are
installed by default by most every modern Linux installer.
