Post-Installation Configuration​

The `b4xV5.ini` configuration file is created by B4A on its first run, not during installation. To respect this workflow, we provide a separate configuration script.

How to Apply Preferenced Settings​

1. Launch B4A once (from menu or desktop)
2. Close B4A (no need to create a project)
3. Run the configurator:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pyhoon/b4a-wine-installer/main/configure_b4a_settings.sh
chmod +x configure_b4a_settings.sh

./configure_b4a_settings.sh

The script automatically configures `b4xV5.ini` with optimized settings:

Setting​	Value​	Purpose​
AdditionalLibrariesFolder	C:\Additional Libraries	Location for B4A library files
FontName2	Ubuntu Sans Mono	Editor font for better readability
FontSize2	15
JavaBin	C:\Java\jdk-19.0.2\bin	Path to JDK compiler
logs_FontName2	Ubuntu Sans	Log panel font settings
logs_FontSize2	15
NewProjectDefaultFolder	Z:\home\USER\B4A_Projects	Default project save location (Linux-native)
PlatformFolder	C:\Program Files\...\android-36	Android SDK platform reference

Manual Override​

To edit settings after installation:

# Open the INI file in your preferred editor
nano ~/.wine_b4a/drive_c/users/\$(whoami)/AppData/Roaming/Anywhere\ Software/Basic4android/b4xV5.ini
