Loading a Raster image throws DllNotFoundException for 'libglib-2.0-0.dll'

[MindSwipe]

To Reproduce

1. Create a new Console app
2. Reference GTiff2Tiles 2.0.0-rc3
3. Copy and paste the following code

var progress = new Progress<double>(ProgressReporter);
var printTimeAction = new Action<string>(System.Console.WriteLine);

await using Raster image = new("path/to/image.tif");
await image.WriteTilesToDirectoryAsync(
    "path/to/outDir",
    0,
    20,
    tileSize: new Size(256, 256),
    progress: progress,
    printTimeAction: printTimeAction
);

4. Execute the program

Input data info
gdalinfo output:

  Color Table (RGB with 2 entries)

Expected behavior
I expect the program to correctly load the image and generate tiles

Actual behaivor
The program crashes on the line where a new Raster is created with the following exception:

System.DllNotFoundException: 'Unable to load DLL 'libglib-2.0-0.dll' or one of its dependencies: The specified module could not be found. (0x8007007E)'

Desktop:

• OS: Windows 10 64 bit version 21H2
• Version: 2.0.0-rc3 using the Nuget package

Sorry I kept you waiting for an answer. I'm no longer commiting to this project lately, but I'll try to help you.
It looks like prebuilt gdal or netvips had some errors with dependencies. Could you please try building library from source code and reference it? I've merged all related PRs from dependabot and CI seems to work fine.

I had an error similar to this. It was solved by importing the references that the GTiff2Tiles.Console's package dependencies into my root project. I don't think they are all required, but here they all are:

• CommandLineParser
• MaxRev.Gdal.LinuxRuntime.Minimal
• MaxRev.Gdal.WindowsRuntime.Minimal
• NetVips.Native.linux-x64
• NetVips.Native.win-x64

[Gigas002]

Ah, sorry, I misread the question, thought you're using the console app from repo. @clayu is right, you'll need to reference a native packages, that match your system (as name says, CommandLineParser is only needed to parse options from command line, so it's optional)

By the way, it seems like gdal native bindings are finally available under macos, so in case you're using mac, you'll need to add two additional packages to your console application:

• dotnet add package NetVips.Native.osx-x64 (or dotnet add package NetVips.Native for automatic native bindings for all supported OS)
• dotnet add package MaxRev.Gdal.MacosRuntime.Minimal.x64 for gdal natives

Though I can't assure you it will work on mac. I will push these changes to github's CI environment soon.

I'm closing this issue for now, but feel free to reopen it.
