WSL2 Installation on Windows 11 #183

Closed TechPlasma closed 3 years ago

TechPlasma commented 3 years ago

Hi, sorry to bother you but I've been wanting to try and use your software forever now, the problem is that I've always run windows. With windows 11 though there seemed to be good support for graphical Linux apps and I figured I'd try and get your app to run. I tried to install it by adding the repository and using apt-get as detailed here https://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2015/09/make-math-simple-in-ubuntu-elementary-os-via-nasc/

But that didn't really work. So I tried building it myself and got to about here. image

I really have very little experience building apps like this and aren't really sure where to go from here.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, you need all dependencies to build. https://github.com/parnold-x/nasc/blob/master/BUILDING.md The libmpfr-dev, if it is installed then you need something additional for wsl2 but that I don't know

Welp, in the end installation of dependencies didn't really work out, initial meseon build would work but the ninja build step would fail.

Thanks for the help, and sorry for the trouble/bother.
