2.6 Building under Windows WSL with Clang and Makefiles
----------------------------------------------------------
WSL, the Windows Subsystem for Linux allows developers to run a Linux
environment without the need for a separate virtual machine or dual booting.
WSL 2 runs inside a managed virtual machine that implements the full
Linux kernel. WSL requires Windows 11.
FLTK apps generated using WSL are Linux compatible binaries. To run those
binaries on Windows, WSL comes with a limited built-in X11 server. Third
party X11 servers can be installed that better support all features of FLTK.
1) Install WSL from PowerShell with admin privileges:
> wsl --install
2) Reboot and open the Linux terminal. You will need to install the following
Linux apps to compile FLTK
> sudo apt update
> sudo apt install clang cmake freeglut3-dev
3) Change to the directory containing the FLTK project. For example:
> cd ~/dev/fltk-1.4.x
4) Use CMake to configure the build system
> cmake -B build
5) Use CMake to build the demo app and all dependencies
> cmake --build build
6) Run the demo app
> ./build/bin/test/demo
