B4A, B4X Ubuntu X64 ?

[fgh3966]

Happy New Year 2023 ! ?
I would like to install B4A on Ubuntu 22.04 for example, new B4A 12.0 is only 64 bit --> Linux and Wine arch support 64 bit.
I can't install dotnet452 or vcrun2010, because arch X64 doesn't seem to be appreciated by these old versions.
Can you help me ?
Thank you.

Hi! please look at the following thread on how to do it:

B4A on Linux 2022

Hello everyone! I thought I would share my experience on getting B4A running and Linux. I use Manjaro but this should work on any distro. Also, just to make managing your wine prefixes easier use PlayOnLinux or something similar. 1) Create a new 64 bit prefix with wine 6.17 2) Run winetricks...

Its not easy but you will eventually go there. I chose Crossover for my installation was pretty easy and the experience was neat

I feel in the future, the .net IDE needs ported to .NET Core which is cross-platform. Not entirely certain why that hasn't been done, maybe its stuck with native windows libraries?

Regardless I absolutely dislike whats happening to windows and where its headed, once 10 reaches EOL I am probably going to jump ship to linux. Would be awesome if eventually these tools are ported to be cross-platform with Core, or otherwise. I honestly think it would open up the sector quite a bit.

According to AA it's because third party vendors on some parts of the IDE

I also think that Linux is awesome but it always comes with increases customer support.

I have been on a non windows machine for years now. I always have to either use parallels or wine to keep coding.

Probably a bit late, but this might help as well as Mint is based on Ubuntu: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...x-mint-20-2-cinnamon-with-64-bit-wine.134069/
