Figured I should just check here :)
Check for dupes first, and if no bug exists, file one.
Hmm, check out the name of this bug, from known issues:

Bug 4464 - d3dx9_*.dll are unimplemented - redistributable dll, use native version (builtin replacement is a work in progress) Closed Wontfix
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4464

Closed Wontfix. Bug topic seems in the same spirit as what I'm thinking about, yet the thread under this bug is practically all out war. Any advice? For this exact case I'm just getting 'unimplemented function d3dx9_36.dll.D3DXCreateTextureFromFileW'.





Past coming back to haunt us :-P. We've started implementing those
DLLs now. See:

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11675

But filing a more specific bug with more info wouldn't hurt. My bug
is pretty generic.

Actually there is some work underway to get those implemented. But until they will, you will need to copy it from windows.

File a bug for this specific issue.

Thank you sirs :)

The native libs I copied do work, I'm just working on being a bit more useful.

Kid gloves, please, I've just committed my first bug :shock:

It's pretty vanilla, but I think functional?

Thanks for the assist Austin, I am starting to see how that works. Also I didn't even see that there were 2 functions, need to be more thorough/less assuming.

There are probably more on top of that, but that's all the log shows.
If those are stubbed, you'll probably hit more.

Always post a link when referring to bugs, it saves time...
