Hello all, We are trying to figure out the best way to package our application for Linux users. Looks like Linux support was officially dropped over 5 years ago, so what kind of workarounds do we have by now? Option 1- The windows version of our application was built with Flash CC using the "Application with runtime embedded (e.g. captive runtime) option, and it runs 95% fine on Linux using Wine on the exe file. The only issue is that the smoothing / antialiasing is turned off, which makes text pixelated. If this is a common known issue and there is a workaround, perhaps we can just use this approach? Option 2- We could try to make a native linux installer using AIR SDK 2.6, but we had trouble even getting AIR installed on our linux distros. Biggest downside is, AIR 2.6 doesn't have the captive runtime option (afaik that option came with AIR 3.0), so the user will have to download AIR alongside the application. Which will get increasingly difficult as time goes by. Option 3- We could possibly try to make our own "bundle", with a captive linux runtime, and a "launcher" akin to the exe file the windows version contains? Presumably, the exe file is basically just executing a single line batch file that runs the swf file using the captive runtime? Does anyone here have experience with any of these methods? Or any other suggestions?
