Issue
have any of you tried compile and executing SFML c++ project output on wsl? I tried and got
Failed to open X11 display; make sure the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly
Aborted
Is it possible at all to execute GUI applications through wsl?
(I've installed ubuntu's for wsl)
Solution
If you went on the same problem
first, you need to install VcXsrv and X11 for executing GUI applications through wsl
then you have to add these 2 to your Linux subsystem environment variables:
export DISPLAY=:0
export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=0
