ReportBuilder incompatible with Crossover

rbuser

I have customers that uses Macintosh and the Crossover emulator (based
on Wine) to run Windows applications in MacOS, including my ERP that is
built in Delphi and uses ReportBuilder.

Everything worked 100% until I moved from RB 10 to RB 14. Now, when he
tries to run the application, it doesnt run, and doesnt give any error
messages too. Nothing happens!

I did a small test creating a simple project with just a button and
ShowMessage. Compiled and sent to him try with Crossover. It worked
fine! If I drop a TppReport in that project and compile again, the app
doesnt run anymore in Crossover.

So, it seems that RB 14 has some dependecy that RB 10 didnt have and
which is blocking the application to run in the Crossover environment.

Any ideas on how to solve this?

Hi Carlos,

Starting with ReportBuilder 12, we began using the built-in FontSub.dll
library to handle advanced PDF export with font subsetting. I do not
believe FontSub is natively available when using Crossover/WINE.

We had another customer using Crossover and this was the issue. They
were able to work around it by somehow adding a copy of the library to
their Crossover installation.

Thanks Nico!

I'll check with my customer to see how to add this library to the
crossover bottle.

I'll let you know if it solves the problem.

Customer confirmed that adding fontsub.dll to the Crossover bottle
solved the problem!

Thanks!
