The Unity editor is now available for Linux: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/unity-on-linux-release-notes-and-known-issues.350256/  And there was much rejoicing.  Yay.

We just integrated Wwise and I'm not clear on how to get rid of a couple of errors (below) in the Unity editor for Linux.  I think I'm missing something in the documentation?  The only source files I was able to find at your download link are for the SDK.  Wwise is working for us under Windows, so I believe the source code is already part of our repo, but I'm not finding the file "BuildWwiseUnityIntegration.py" there or in Wwise_v2015.1.2_Build5457_SDK.Linux.zip.

I think the Linux documentation is a little out of date, it references Ubuntu 12.04 (released in 2012).  SDL2 can now be installed with "apt-get install libsdl2-2.0-0"

The errors in question:

Assets/Wwise/Deployment/API/Generated/Common/AkDeviceSettings.cs(102,10): error CS0246: The type or namespace name `AkThreadProperties' could not be found. Are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?
Assets/Wwise/Deployment/API/Generated/Common/AkInitSettings.cs(179,10): error CS0246: The type or namespace name `AkAudioAPI' could not be found. Are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?

Our build pipeline is based on Linux, and this is a critical feature that we need! Any update on this feature request?

The Unity Editor on Linux is not a supported target by our Unity integration at this time.
Linux, while supported as a runtime target, is also not a supported authoring environment.

We encourage studios and users who wish to see the Unity Linux editor to become officially supported to report it to us as a feature request to help us prioritize.

The most up-to-date information related to targeting Linux on Unity with Wwise can be found at this address: https://www.audiokinetic.com/en/library/edge/?source=Unity&id=pg__linux_info.html
