Hello, I've finally had a moment to look at my build log to see what went wrong for my WSL build of ximgview.
It took me a minute to figure out what was going on. Lots of "undefined reference" to X11 functions, but nowhere else in GRASS! Turns out gcc isn't very happy when you have "-L -lX11"... Removing the empty "-L" resolved the issue. I'm going to cc: the list because I'm not sure how to address this. ________________________________ From: Huidae Cho <gras...@gmail.com> Sent: Wednesday, February 16, 2022 7:03 AM To: Brad ReDacted <brad.redac...@outlook.com> Cc: grass-dev@lists.osgeo.org <grass-dev@lists.osgeo.org> Subject: Re: [GRASS-dev] GRASS + WSL Hi Brad, I'm using GRASS under WSLackware (https://github.com/Mohsens22/WSLackware). For me, ximgview compiles fine. Maybe, it's a distribution issue?

Everything compiles except ximgview. 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. 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. On Windows 10, you will need to run a separate middleware X Server to get the GUI working until the next release of WSL. This may eventually replace the need for MinGW for the most recent releases of Windows. I look forward to running performance benchmarks. It's linux, but it's on my Windows desktop! It's a bit surreal.
