It sounds like you've managed it! As Partha says, you can't run graphical Linux programs directly from win10, you need to install an X11 server on the Windows side. >From the win desktop, install an X11 server, there are loads of free ones, and start it running. Check the instructions on how to

Hi Not gaining personally anything, but maybe making development builds more accessible to those who come from MS Windows backgrounds. Now they have to setup a Msys2 environment and do builds with that, which isn't as easy as it sounds with instructions that are partly outdated, but if

I'd probably try cross build since after 'sudo apt-get install gimp' and trying to run it, it fails on 'cannot open display' so I think that indicates the shell cannot run it under windows and gimp needs to be built as a cross build. But as said, I'm just a beginner. :) - Petteri Soininen

Hi I was more like thinking if anyone has already done that so I could get some pointers and try it too. If that's not the case I probably can try building it myself and take notes to make a 'how to' so I can give advice to others who like to try the same. If during that I face problems,

Hi, Windows 10 introduced an Ubuntu Bash shell, so I'm interested if anyone has compiled GIMP using that environment. I tried, but I'm just a newbie and got into problems where gegl didn't see babl etc. so my environment variable settings were probably either wrong or not effective or I just
