QB64 Linux on Windows using WSL2!
« on: October 22, 2020, 09:49:37 pm »
Following this tutorial (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10) and this tutorial (https://medium.com/@japheth.yates/the-complete-wsl2-gui-setup-2582828f4577) I was able to get Linux Ubuntu installed on my home Windows 10 PC and successfully build QB64! Not only that, but I was also able to build Fellippe's Among Us clone AND successfully join the server to play! Note, WSL2 will have GUI capability added in the future BUT this is a workaround right now and it works great!

I have a problem - you mean you could also use QB64 in WSL 2 (Windows Subsystem for Linux)? Really?

I have installed WSL 2 too and an openSuSE Leap 15.2 is running now - but only the command line for exercises in C. I like Vim . . .  ;)

@Kernelpanic Yes, I can run QB64 on WSL2. You need to follow the tutorials in those websites in my post to use GUI applications.

@SpriggsySpriggs, you know your way around C ++, do you also know the GCC for Windows (MingW)?
I would have there a question.

@Kernelpanic I don't really know the compiler, only the language.

Side note, QB64 also runs okay in wine.

So we can have the Windows version run on Linux, and the Linux version run on Windows \o/
