Error when opening texpresso in WSL #68

Closed sambaPython24 closed 1 month ago

sambaPython24 commented 1 month ago

I installed texpresso in WSL.

But when starting build/texpresso test/simple.tex, I get the result

[info] working directory: /<mypath>/texpresso/texpresso
[info] executable path: /<mypath>/texpresso/texpresso/build/texpresso
[info] document path: /<mypath>/texpresso/texpresso/test
[info] document name: simple.tex
texpresso logo: 512x512
[info] tectonic path: texpresso-tonic
[dvi] loading pdftex.map
bundle_serve_hooks_cat: cannot read answer
[dvi] loading kanjix.map

Any idea how to get around that error? Usually also programs requiring a GUI open without a problem. (The Visual Studio Code extension via the WSL is also not working but not throwing an error.)

It seems the problem has to do with tectonic. Try compiling the sample document by running:

build/texpresso-tonic test/simple.tex

The output should look like:
