Dang it. Need to really verify that it's running in WSL 2 - even though I have 2, apparently this was set up in 1. Probably the issue; will verify in a few days.

[Roger Brown]

Within WSL I use /etc/wsl.conf with

[automount]
enabled=false

[interop]
enabled=false
appendWindowsPath=false

This stops the windows mounts and paths.

[John Ballentine III]

Ok, built a completely new Ubuntu install and tried again. Still get stopped in the same spot, same errors.

[Roger Brown]

Which version of CDE are you building and do you have all the dependencies?

I have a script which should validate you have the build dependencies installed

https://sourceforge.net/p/cdesktopenv-package/code/ci/main/tree/

And pre-built packages for Ubuntu 22.04

https://sourceforge.net/projects/cdesktopenv-package/files/ubuntu/22.04/

[John Ballentine III]

Following the build instructions from the wiki for "CDE on Windows". Have installed all the packages listed there. Using the http git clone command on that page, so I'm assuming the latest version?

I have no idea if the prebuilt packages will work with the WSL version of Ubuntu, but I'll try first the dependencies script(s) and then if that doesn't show anything missing, I'll try the packages - at this point, probably next week.

Thanks!

[Paxton Penguin]

[automount]
enabled=false

[interop]
enabled=true
appendWindowsPath=false

inside /etc/wsl.conf worked

[John Ballentine III]

Same for me - adding those lines resolved the compiling errors.
