Manually loaded unmanaged dlls can't be found

[Ellpeck]

I'm using the MonoGame Framework for a project that I am trying to package with NetCoreBeauty. MonoGame loads its unmanaged dependencies (namely SDL) in an odd way, as seen here.

When running NetCoreBeauty on a simple example project and trying to run it, the SDL2.dll native library can't be found anymore. Moving that file from the runtimes folder to the main folder manually fixes the issue.

Here is a simple example project that you can use to recreate the issue:
MLEMDesktopGLCoreTest.zip (When run successfully, this project simply displays a window with a black background.)

you are right, any dlls that be loaded by DllImport cannot be moved. but unfortunately, NetCoreBeauty cannot determine whether a dll is manually loaded or not. i think the only way to solve this problem is that provide a BeautyExcludes property to exclude dlls that you don't want to be moved or can not be moved. a fix will be available soon.

That sounds like a pretty good solution. Thanks!

adding <BeautyExcludes>SDL2*;libSDL2*;sdl2*</BeautyExcludes> into csproj file to avoid moving SDL2.

UPDATE: after viewing the changes of commit 633b952099, adding openal too for safe.
<BeautyExcludes>SDL2*;libSDL2*;sdl2*;soft_oal*;openal*</BeautyExcludes>
