<br>
It was suggested to me that I report to the list that GRASS almost fully compiles and runs under Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). Everything compiles except ximgview.<br>
<br>
For those who do not know what WSL is, it is sort of a hidden VM layer addon for Windows with a custom kernel that allows Linux to run on Windows.<br>
<br>
I am using the Ubuntu WSL Preview on Windows 11 with WSL2. This combination gives me full GUI without needing to run a separate X Server. Graphics are accelerated (nvidia, in my case). I have not had a chance to test everything, yet, but it does look promising.<br>
<br>
On Windows 10, you will need to run a separate middleware X Server to get the GUI working until the next release of WSL.<br>
<br>
This may eventually replace the need for MinGW for the most recent releases of Windows. I look forward to running performance benchmarks.<br>
<br>
It's linux, but it's on my Windows desktop! It's a bit surreal.<br>
<br>
Best Regards,<br>
