Just in case anybody might be interested and so that really nothing remains unattempted, I did a 'ground-zero' fresh installation of wsl + Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. I haven't reproduced all of Ikumi's steps, but the result seems exactly the same: 1. From within wsl-emacs + auctex no windows Tex Live-installation can be found, replacing commands by their corresponing .exe to no substantial avail, etc. p.p. 2. Flawless compilation and production of a pdf from tex-file, when pdflatex.exe is manually executed outside wsl-Emacs in (now-) Ubuntu console: pdflatex.exe test2.tex So rather than anything being wrong wsl, probably "then emacs running under wsl has something wrong about starting asynchronous process of windows binary." (cit. Ikumi) Btw, One user besides me with the same setup seems to have encountered the very same issue: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/519687/is-there-any-way-to-run-windows-texlive-on-wsl One commentator gives a hint that he has managed to get it working with pdflatex.exe, as I understand it he does not say whether in wsl-console or via emacs. Kind regards! Pete Edit: After just re-reading the user's question on tex-stackexchange, I correct myself: he did not say he encountered an issue, but was wise enough to ask beforehand. I also assume the commentator got it to work via the console, as in the thread there is no mention of emacs. I don't understanding every line, but it seems wsl has no qualms accessing Win/ Tex Live pdflatex.exe test2.tex ---> This is pdfTeX, Version 3.141592653-2.6-1.40.24 (TeX Live 2022) (preloaded format=pdflatex) restricted \write18 enabled. entering extended mode (./test2.tex LaTeX2e patch level 1 L3 programming layer (c:/texlive/2022/texmf-dist/tex/latex/base/article.cls Document Class: article 2021/10/04 v1.4n Standard LaTeX document class (c:/texlive/2022/texmf-dist/tex/latex/base/size10.clo)) (c:/texlive/2022/texmf-dist/tex/latex/l3backend/l3backend-pdftex.def) No file test2.aux.
