Windows Subsystem for Linux

it is possible to test Linux builds on a Windows 10 (or 11) machine using Windows Subsystem for Linux.

Install WSL2 with for example Ubuntu or Ubuntu 20

Install Cygwin and X-Server

Install the appropriate graphics driver: Microsoft WSL GUI apps

Install unzip

sudo apt install unzip

Install GTK:

sudo apt-get install libswt-gtk-4-jni libswt-gtk-4-java

Install WebKit:

Eclipse instructions sudo apt-get install libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37

Install Java 11 or later

sudo apt install openjdk-11-jre-headless

Find the IP address of the WSL2 system: ip addr | grep eth0

From Cygwin64 command prompt. xhost should have the IP address of the WSL2 system as seen from Windows / Cygwin

startxwin -- -listen tcp
xhost +127.0.0.1 #Add the appropriate IP address, need to check for WSL2
# xhost +172.22.46.35 # or use this for WSL2, replace the address with the address from ip addr above
# xhost +$(wsl hostname -I) # or use this from a Cygwin xterm window to automatically find the WSL2 address

Download Memory Analyzer zip

unzip MemoryAnalyzer-1.12.0.20210602-linux.gtk.x86_64.zip

For WSL1

cd mat
export DISPLAY=:0
./MemoryAnalyzer

or for WSL2

cd mat
export DISPLAY=$(ip route | grep default | cut -d ' ' -f 3)':0' # Finds the IP address of the Windows machine
./MemoryAnalyzer


To get charts working, add -Djava.awt.headless=true to `MemoryAnalyzer.ini` in the vmargs section.
