RE: Experience with running Linux LispWorks on WSL2?

Finally got the update with WSL2 for my machine, so I could try this out. LispWorks Enterprise 7.1.2 (64-bit) for Linux installed without a problem on Ubuntu 20.04 for WSL2, going directly into the TTY listener with an error that the X11 DISPLAY variable was not set; but invoking with “-build” evals the build-script, dumps the standalone binary, and exits the process as expected. Sweet.

Will continue with further experiments.

Title says all : does anyone here have any experience with running the Linux version of LispWorks on WSL2 (Windows Subsystem for Linux) rather than in a “traditional” Linux VM on top of Windows?

Thanks,

People generally use an external X server, such as Xming, to run graphical Linux applications on WSL. (See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37969262/windows-subsystem-for-linux-display-variable-setup for details.)

Perhaps this way you'll get the graphical LW to run!

RE: Experience with running Linux LispWorks on WSL2?

Well, that was easy.

I followed the instructions here instead, since the answer was WSL2 specific:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61110603/how-to-set-up-working-x11-forwarding-on-wsl2

Used X410 from the Windows app store, for simplicity. Plus, it’s on sale 80% off retail price.

Very little configuration required. In Ubuntu, set the DISPLAY variable in my rc file for X display 0 on the loopback interface; allowed public access from the X410 menu; added firewall rule for the WSL2 subnet on port 6000. Launching LispWorks from Ubuntu opens automatically in Windowed mode.

Noted! I’ll be sure to try this approach as well.

Still exploring all the new features and configuration options of WSL2, but couldn’t wait any longer to have a local, native, side-by-side Windows and Linux LispWorks build-and-deploy pipeline set up on my development machine.

It’s so awesome.
