pip install wxpython fails during setup on Ubuntu 20.04 on WSL2

[YUzushio]

When setting up this repository on Ubuntu 20.04 OS on WSL2 pip install wxpython. error occurs when executing it.

environment

-WLS2 (Windows 11)

• OS: Ubuntu 20.04
• Python Version: 3.9.2
• Anaconda Version: 4.12.0
• GPU: RTX 3080
• NVIDIA-SMI 515.43.01
• Driver Version: 516.01
• CUDA Version: 11.7

Error detail

1. C++ compiler not found
2. GTK+ library not found (The actual error text is attached, reproduced later, as I have deleted the prompts from the encounter.)

temporary solution in local

Run the following two commands before running pip install wxpython

• sudo apt install -y build-essential
• sudo apt install -y libgtk-3-dev

impression

I got hooked because I was in the habit of executing and developing code in WSL2 and Docker containers instead of on Windows 11 on a regular basis. This was a rare case where a C++ compiler (and other development libraries) was not included in my WSL2 Linux. However, some people may get caught, so I created an Issue.

I am creating this Issue because the README is very thorough and I thought it might be a good idea to mention this case.

Is it possible that it was never intended to run on WSL2 Linux ...? At any rate, I put Anaconda directly into Windows 11 and ran it in a straightforward manner and it worked fine.

This tool is too nice for words... Thank you for developing it!
