This works for Ubuntu 12.04 and Wine 1.5-10, thank you.

Thank you Doc Flabby this does work with wine 1.5-10: sudo mv /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/wine/kernel32.dll.so /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/wine/kernel32.dll.so.old sudo mv ~/Desktop/kernel32.dll.so /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/wine/ Where ~/Desktop/kernel32.dll.so is the dll you provided.

Thank you, this worked, but I only have two zones, single player and server.

There was a Discretion.exe somewhere actually. I used: find . -name "*.exe*" -print in the build directories and there was a Discretion.exe not in bin as per the building.txt file but under bin/modules or something weird like that. Then I tried to run it and that didn't work either. Whatever the case is, I don't think the steps were tested on Ubuntu 12.04 yet, cause I followed all the steps one by one and don't get a working exe. Also I am using Wine 1.5-10 if that makes a difference.

No errors, a lot of warnings though using eclipse. Whatever the problem is, it seems that the steps in building.txt don't apply for Ubuntu 12.04 as written. I follow all the steps, build the project, then there is no .exe file that I can find. Ubuntu 12.04 is one of the most common Linux distributions these days, so would be nice if we could have a working Continuum or Discretion for it, without having to do something like using a way old version of Wine.

The BUILDING.txt file said to look for Discretion.exe in the bin directory.

One of the how-to's says to download kernel32.dll.so and replace it in the wine installation with the downloaded version. But the how-to says " the latest Wine version to work with kernel32.dll.so was Wine 1.1.21" meaning anything over Wine Version 1.1.21 doesn't work with the downloaded dll. I am well past Wine version 1.1 (I am using 1.5 so as to play Diablo III). So this method does not work for me unless I want to run a way outdated version of wine on my computer. To quote another poster: "What we could really use is an up-to-date how to install on Ubuntu 12.XX using Wine. Ubuntu is really the Linux of choice these days in one form or another" I am using Ubuntu 12.04 and it is the most popular desktop Linux now. I tried to compile the "Discretion" client as well using all the instructions in the README, but I didn't get a .exe file even after following the steps one after the other. Seems like it could be made a lot simpler.

Can't this be simplified a bit? i.e. you give us .exe file for Ubuntu 12.04 :-) I tried the lengthy set of installation instructions and didn't get an .exe file in the bin directory.

My OS of choice is now Ubuntu 12.04, I no longer use Win-Blows. Can some please update the how-to's for getting Continuum 4.0 to work with Linux, those how-to's are very old? The older methods do not seem to work with the latest versions of Ubuntu 12.04 and Wine 1.5-10.

I agree with Kyll.
