Installing on Linux?

I have tried installing cocos2D-X in Windows - it was a big headache and I couldn’t do it, (Visual Studio problems). I’d rather not use Windows anyway.
Supposedly you can install cocos2D-X on Linux? Ubuntu 12.10+ ??? using CMake 2.6+
Is it possible to install on a debian - Linux Mint 12??? If so, How is it done???

I have encouter the same problem , can cocos2dx surport windows platform???

I made it run on Mac using Wine
I am quite sure you can make it run on linux.
