At the moment (few tests) it appears everything working GOOD, also the designer.
Running B4A and B4J under Linux with wine - fully functional
I have just managed to install B4A and make it run (including B4ASdkManager) on my Xubuntu 18.04 and, since I have lost two days and one night putting things together, I thought it will be a good idea to share it with this great community :) Will assume that we have a partition for virtual...
B4X:
- Install WineTricks
- Create a 32 bit profile
- Install .NET 4.52
- Install B4J
- On an windows system download and install jdk-8u271-windows-i586.
- Copy Java folder resulting from installation under a Linux folder (user accessible)
- Open B4j and configure paths pointing the Java folder created above
- Change MaxRamForDex field in the INI file (under %AppData%\Anywhere Software\B4J), put to 1024
